Imperial City, Yanfu Palace, Yiqing Palace.

Emperor Daojun sat angrily behind the imperial book, holding a small lamb in one hand and a jasper ball with a Taiji diagram in the other.

On the left side of the hall, Cai Jing, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Tong Guan, and six Shangshu trains, all with ugly faces.

On the right, Zhao Ta is expressionless, holding his head high, looking at the sky with his eyes open.

Zhao Kai stood next to him, with no expression on his face, but there was a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.

In front of the imperial book case, Zhao Gou and Zhao Mo stood together.

Zhao Mo's face turned pale with fright at this time, he glanced at the courtiers on the side, peeked at Emperor Daojun again, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Zhao Gou looked angry, but he was beaten and his nose and face were swollen, and this look looked quite funny at the moment.

"Finished?" Emperor Daojun said in a deep voice.

"Daddy......" Zhao Mo hurriedly said, "The child is finished." ”

"I'm done." Zhao Gou reached out to touch his ears, but there was an "oops" sound in pain, and the place where his hand touched it was purple and black and bruised.

Emperor Daojun took a deep breath and was a little silent, and the hall was silent at the moment.

After a long time, he looked at Cai Jing's side: "What should Zhu Qing say about this matter?" ”

Cai Jing lowered his eyebrows, and the others were silent, they didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

No one is stupid, the alliance at sea is important, but it is not a trivial matter for this prince to be scolded and beaten!

What's more, it is still the Jurchens who are rude first, molesting the nuns of Xiangguo Temple, what touch the bald head, don't be too shameless, even if you really want to do it in your heart, but there is our Song people who touch it, and there is the truth that you are turning into barbarians and touching it?

Beating the prince is a big crime of killing the head, this is just a waste of arms and legs, maybe you can still catch it, it's actually very cheap, right?

Although the ministers thought so, no one spoke, because they didn't know what the officials thought in their hearts, and if the officials didn't express their position, they wouldn't say anything.

Emperor Daojun saw that they were silent, his face suddenly darkened, and said: "Beat the envoy of the Jin State like this, and let me how the Great Song Dynasty can negotiate an alliance with him!" ”

Well? Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they woke up, it turned out that in the hearts of the officials, the alliance on the sea was going to be heavier than the prince being beaten!

Zhao Gou raised his head and looked at Emperor Daojun, as if he didn't believe that these words came from the mouth of the other party, it was obviously the barbarian who teased the little master in the temple first, and his own righteous shot was injured and injured, and then fought back, and the result was ...... As a result, what Daddy cared about was how to form an alliance after beating each other?

I don't care about the face of the royal family at all, and my own injuries!

Zhao Gou was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to say anything, he lowered his head violently, and his two fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves.

"Official ......" Since he had insight into Emperor Daojun's thoughts, Bai Shizhong spoke first: "This matter is really inappropriate, the so-called killing is not too much, this will cripple the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, it is better to kill them directly." ”

"yes!" Li Bangyan also shook his head: "If you kill it, you can still compensate for gold and silver, but it's not so easy to scrap it, this is obviously a slap in the face......"

"How?" Zhao Ta sneered on the other side, and looked at the two of them: "Don't the two ministers think that the order given by this king is wrong?" ”

Bai Shizhong sneered: "The prince is naturally right, but the ministers think that it is better to kill a few to set an example, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end in the end." ”

Li Bangyan sighed: "The alliance on the sea involves Yanyun's plan, Yanyun is a major event since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and Lianjin is the best time to do this important thing, the so-called opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again, if you miss this opportunity to achieve great achievements, it is really a pity!" ”

Zhao Ta snorted coldly: "Yan Yun is certainly a heavy matter, isn't it a big matter for me to be a big Song Guowei?" If our country is weak and cowardly, will the Jin country still form an alliance with me? I'm afraid that after I go down to Northern Liao, I will think about violating my Great Song Dynasty! ”

"King Qin's words are wrong!" Tang Ke, the head of the household department, said: "I want that woman to be straight but a few households, curled up in the land of the northeast projectile, and monopolize the Northern Liao is already exhausted by all the national strength, where do you still have the heart to plot my Great Song Dynasty?" Where does the population come from to occupy my Shenzhou? ”

Zhao Ta glanced at him and said lightly: "Didn't Tang Shangshu forget the disaster of Wuhu!" ”

"This ......" Zhang Bangchang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, shook his head and took over the conversation: "King Qin, this is a bit alarmist, His Royal Highness also said that it is Wuhu, but where does it come from now?" However, there is only one Jurchen ear, there are not a few households, even if it is under the Northern Liao, the Khitan territory is vast and the area is vast, and I am afraid that he will not be able to occupy it with the strength of the whole country, where will he think about my god dynasty? ”

Zhao Ta said coldly: "What is Shenzhou? Is it comparable to the bitter cold land of Northern Liao? Shu is rich, so it can get Longwang Shu? The Central Plains is prosperous, Siyi and which one does not covet it, the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous since ancient times, the smoke bridge is painted willows, the wind curtain is green, the three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus, who does not want to occupy it! ”

"Enough!" When Emperor Daojun heard this, he threw the jasper ball in his hand on the imperial bookcase, and the ball jumped twice on the table and rolled to the ground, shattering with a "pop".

"I'm not asking you to fight right or wrong!" Emperor Daojun said angrily: "How did you make the Jurchen envoy calm the anger in his heart and continue to discuss the alliance with my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

The fate of the next sentence was audible, and everyone began to fall silent again.

Emperor Daojun had a gloomy face, looked around, and finally his gaze fell on Cai Jing.

Cai Jing's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he couldn't tell whether he was awake or asleep at the moment.

"Master Cai will talk about it!" Emperor Daojun said lightly: "What should I do about this matter?" ”

When Cai Jing heard this, he bowed slightly, and then slowly widened his eyes: "Official, the bell must be tied to the bell, His Royal Highness is bullied, and it is not unreasonable to fight back, but this abolished Jurchen envoy is a bit excessive, since it is an order from King Qin, King Qin will naturally have a solution!" ”

Zhao Ta raised his eyebrows when he heard this, the last time he saw Emperor Daojun, the matter of disagreeing with Fujin marrying Cai Yan must have been spread, Cai Jing has a grudge against it, and there is an opportunity to retaliate at this moment, of course, he grabbed it tightly and directly pointed the finger at himself.

Emperor Daojun threw away the little sheep in his hand as if he was disgusted, and his expression was very displeased.

To be honest, he is a little reluctant to face Zhao Ta directly, although this son Wen Taowu is a talented person who is talented in Jingwei and should be happy, but this son is not like him in many places in terms of temperament and preferences.

But these are not the most important things, after all, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different.

The most important thing is that he can't see through this son, he doesn't know what this son wants, what he wants, and what he can do in the next moment!

It was as if everything was out of his control, and if the minister had been like this, he would have been demoted to the border long ago, or he would have found a reason to force him to do so.

But what can this son do? And this son is still so good, he has done so many things for him, and he has made so many great contributions.

If he doesn't have this son, then he will have too much trouble, who is Wang Qing? Can Fang La still be captured? Does the imperial court still have prestige in the eyes of the Western Army?

Especially...... Without this son, I'm afraid those scholars wouldn't have died, right?

Rebel, don't take him for a fool, saying that the death of those scholars has nothing to do with this rebel, but he doesn't believe it at all.

This son is ruthless, although he can't figure out how to do it, but there is definitely this son's calculation behind it.

This son has done so many things that make him feel comfortable, but the more he does this, the more he can't see through this son, and even has some fears.

And this son's reputation is getting higher and higher, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is famous all over the world, no one knows it, no one knows it!

It's all a good reputation, but it's a little bad in this way, such a big reputation, such a big credit, such a big skill, what big thing does this son want to do?

Emperor Daojun regretted that he had named this son the king of Qin, this was really too hasty, how could he be named such a king?

The prestige of this son has already surpassed that of King Yun, and even surpassed that of the crown prince!

That's very wrong......

But he still can't see through it, if he says that he wants to be the prince for the throne, why has he never hinted to him? Even if you are afraid that he will be unhappy, you can ask Empress Zheng to come over and say, but, never!

I haven't even tried it!

Could it be that this son already knows that he is determined to pass on the throne to the third child?

The more Emperor Daojun thought about it, the more angry he became, if that was the case, wouldn't it mean that he couldn't see through this son, but this son had already seen him through!

But this son is now so prestigious, so famous, and so many credits, the world knows that he is already a little bit big.

Fortunately...... He only has the right to manage the troops, but he does not have the right to transfer troops!

Thinking of this, Emperor Daojun looked at Zhao Ta with a complicated expression: "King Qin, what do you say?" ”

Zhao Ta took a step forward and said loudly: "Official, this matter is easy to do!" ”

As soon as he spoke, everyone was stunned, how could it be so easy? So many people can't help it, and you came up with a way to do it at once?

Emperor Daojun was also puzzled in his heart, and frowned: "King Qin, what can you do?" ”

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "The official, Shicai Bai and Li said that it is better to kill the female straight people who are crippled, and it can be solved with money if they are killed, but it is a face problem if they are disabled, and it is not easy to think of a way." ”

Emperor Daojun nodded: "That's true, isn't the waste person a slap in the face and humiliated?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "In this case, the child picked some strong subordinates, went to the post house, and killed those crippled female straighteners directly. ”

After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall changed their faces, what kind of tiger and wolf words are this? Abolish the person first, make the other party lose face, and then send someone to kill him? This is too vicious, isn't it, is this still what you should do as a virtuous king?

Emperor Daojun was so angry when he heard this: "King Qin, what kind of bastard are you!" ”

Zhao Ta spread his hands: "Official, don't the two Xianggong monks mean this?" ”

Bai Shizhong's beard trembled: "His Royal Highness King Qin, the old man didn't mean that!" ”

Li Bangyan hurriedly said: "Your Highness is joking, I didn't mean that." ”

Zhang Bangyan said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I didn't say that......"

Zhao Ta pursed his lips and retreated, without saying a word.

Emperor Daojun was so angry that his face was ugly: "They are all mediocre, they are all mediocre, can't they think of a real way?" ”

Seeing that no one spoke, his eyes finally fell on Cai Jing again: "Master, think of a way for me!" ”

Cai Jing said slowly: "Your Majesty, let the old minister think about it, the old minister think about it......"

Emperor Daojun was unhappy when he heard this, and said with luck in his belly: "Think quickly!" ”

After a long time, I heard Cai Jing say slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has thought of a way that doesn't work, maybe ...... It can dispel the anger of some of the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin. ”

Emperor Daojun flicked forward from his chair and stared at Cai Jing with wide eyes: "What method?" ”

Cai Jing looked at Zhao Ta with a pair of seemingly cloudy eyes, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this method will fall on King Qin!" ”

Zhao Ta reached out and touched his chin, and sneered: "Old lady, it's okay to talk about it!" ”

Cai Jingdao: "Although it is said that the envoy of the Jin State was beaten and disabled, after all, it was not the hand of several princes, so as long as the person who did it was tied up and sent to the envoy of the Jin State for disposal, it means that this matter was all done by that person and had nothing to do with the royal family, then the envoy of the Jin State may not be able to say anything." ”

When his words fell, Zhao Ta's expression suddenly became cold, and his eyes looked at Cai Jing coldly.

Cai Jing didn't look at Zhao Ta, but lowered his head slightly, as if he was drowsy again.

"Good way, really good way!" Zhang Bangchang was the first to shout: "This can not only clear up the relationship, but also make the envoy angry, it is really a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone!" ”

Tang Ke also said: "The Taishi's plan is very good, so that the embarrassing situation in front of him will be easily resolved, and the person who will do it will be handed over to the woman to be angry, and they will not be able to say anything." ”

Emperor Daojun was overjoyed and said, "Clever plan, really good plan!" ”

Zhao Gou panicked below, isn't this going to send Peng Ju over? This is worth it, this is really not a human thing!

He wanted to open his mouth to dissuade him, but looking at Emperor Daojun's happy appearance, his lips moved, but he still closed, he felt that his own persuasion was useless, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhao Tan, maybe only the second brother had a way.

I saw Zhao Ta squinting his eyes, just looking at Cai Jing coldly, but he didn't speak.

Emperor Daojun said: "King Qin, where is the person who injured the envoy of the Jin State now? ”

Zhao Qi let out an "ah" and turned his head to look at Emperor Daojun: "Official, what kind of person injured the envoy of the Jin State?" ”

Emperor Daojun was stunned: "It's your subordinate, the one who knocked out the envoy of the Jin Kingdom and abolished it!" ”

Zhao Ta looked puzzled: "Official, who are you talking about?" That person is not a subordinate of the minister, and the minister does not know where he is at the moment......"

"What?" Emperor Daojun immediately widened his eyes: "King Qin, you say it again, you don't know where that person is?" ”

Zhao Tan nodded: "Official, that person is just a chivalrous man who the minister met in the market, and that day was only the second time they met, I originally wanted to accept him as a subordinate, but after the incident of Xiangguo Temple, I didn't know where to go for a long time!" ”

Emperor Daojun was so angry that he grabbed the little sheep on the table and threw it over: "Nonsense, nonsense!" ”

Zhao Tan said sneeringly: "That person is indeed not a subordinate of the minister, just like Taishi Cai said, he has nothing to do with the minister." ”

Emperor Daojun stood up suddenly, looked at Zhao Gou in front of him and said, "Lao Jiu, tell me, is the murderer a subordinate of King Qin?" ”

Zhao Gou shook his head: "Daddy, that person is not the second brother's subordinate, he wears clothes and hats, and he is no different from a commoner in the market." ”

Emperor Daojun stared at him for a moment, then turned his gaze to Zhao Mo: "Eleventh brother, I know that you never lie, but that person is your second brother's subordinate?" ”

Zhao Mo trembled with fright, and opened his mouth to say, "Daddy, daddy, that person is really not the second brother's subordinate!" ”

Emperor Daojun said coldly: "Isn't it a subordinate who is?" ”

Zhao Mo said: "Daddy, the child doesn't know the relationship between that person and the second brother, but it doesn't look like it's a subordinate, and that person doesn't speak with a Tokyo accent, child, child is willing to swear......"

Emperor Daojun was furious, and slapped the table with a "snap": "King Qin, who is that!" ”

Zhao Ta hesitated and said: "The official, the minister is good at martial arts, this person is also good at martial arts, he is acquainted with martial arts in the market, he claims to be from Xiangzhou, and his accent is also over there, his martial arts are good, he should be a chivalrous man, in addition, the minister doesn't know anything else." ”

"You!" Emperor Daojun stared at Zhao Tan, his chest rising and falling violently: "King Qin, you are lying!" ”

Zhao Ta shook his head: "The minister didn't lie, the official family can arrest that person, and you will know when you ask it." ”

"You think I won't send troops to arrest me?" Emperor Daojun said angrily.

Zhao Ta stopped talking and stood there expressionless.

"Get out, you get back to me!" Emperor Daojun gasped: "Don't leave the mansion for three months, don't leave the mansion!" ”

"Obey the order!" Zhao Ta went to the front and saluted, then turned around and left.

"You, why are you going?" Emperor Daojun said angrily.

"Didn't the official family tell the ministers to go back? The minister will go back and be grounded now. Zhao Ta's footsteps didn't stop at all, and walked straight out of the hall.

Emperor Daojun felt that he was confused at the moment, he reached out and grabbed the pen wash on the table, and hit it hard: "Get out!" Get lost! Get lost! ”

There was a "pop" sound, the pen wash fell to the ground, and Zhao Ta walked out of the hall early.

"Rebel, rebel! Bastard, bastard! ”

Emperor Daojun's angry scolding was heard endlessly in the rear, and Zhao Ta headed out of the palace without looking back......
