"In other words, you haven't actually confirmed if it's him?"

Faced with Xu Huang's questioning, Su Yao nodded helplessly and admitted, "That's true." ”

"What do you mean, Zhao Jie is suspicious?"

Although Liu Zhi also listed him as one of the suspects, he was not particularly suspicious.

"Yes, Chen is even sure that Zhao Jie, if not the mastermind, is an important participant."

Sure?

With such a firm tone and no room for maneuver, this is not at all like Xu Huang's usual style.

"Xu Changshi, please elaborate."

It's not that Liu Zhi doesn't believe in his judgment, no matter what, he has to listen to his reasons first.

Xu Huang smiled slightly, his expression full of confidence.

"Zhao Jie and Hu Guang are both veterans of several dynasties, but their personalities are very different.

Hu Guang was born in a family in Nanjun, but the family was in the middle, and he was famous at a young age.

Since then, the career has been smooth, especially after the establishment of Emperor Shun on that day, Yu Liang has been gracious, and it is even more out of control. ”

Xu Huang is worthy of being a know-it-all, and he can come as soon as he opens his mouth about the resumes of important ministers in the DPRK and the central government, and he doesn't have to think about it at all.

Hu Guang is well-read and knowledgeable, and he is a scholar of the Five Classics, but he has a sleek and soft personality, pursues the golden mean, has been an official for many years.

Ran Jingshi made a proverb for him: ignore everything and ask Bo Shi, there is Hu Gong in the middle of the world. ”

Bo Shi is Hu Guang's character, this analysis is very pertinent, his person is indeed a staunch conservative, but his character is cowardly, and he is a good man.

If you think about it carefully, he and Liang Budo are really the same kind of people, who are only suitable for studying and learning behind closed doors, and are not suitable for entering the career and engaging in politics.

With his character, it is indeed unlikely that he will participate in the rebellion, let alone be the mastermind.

In fact, Liu Zhi didn't have much ill feelings towards him, especially Hu Guang was eclectic in selecting talents, meritocracy, and recommended many real people of insight.

"Let's talk about Zhao Jie, he was born in an ordinary place, and his father was a famous ranger in Shu, so since he was young, he was known for his jealousy and hatred, and he was not afraid of the powerful.

In that year, he served as the Taishou of Nanyang, openly impeached Liang Rang, the younger brother of the general Liang Shang, and appointed Haojie to rectify the rule of officials.

His road to becoming an official is much more difficult than that of Hu Guang, and he slowly climbed up step by step by relying on his own ability. ”

Liu Zhi nodded frequently when he heard this, a person with a resolute personality and uprightness, but he retreated under Liang Ji's obscenity.

Even later, he was even more embarrassed and actively participated in many of Liang Ji's actions, which is completely different from Hu Guang's cowardice.

All kinds of signs can only show one thing, that is, Zhao Jie's utilitarian heart is too heavy, and he can't give up his prestige and glory as a lieutenant and the head of the three princes.

In order to keep everything he has worked so hard to get, he does not hesitate to distort his three views and dance with wolves.

But he never expected that the invincible general would fall so easily, and he was not only deposed, but also ended up with a discredited and scolded by thousands of people.

For the arrogant Hu Guang, such an ending should be worse than death.

Now that we look back, he received Li Gong's blood letter, and wept bitterly on the spot, looking up to the sky and sighing, obviously suspected of forgery.

But afterwards, there was nothing to do, and Hu Guang was depressed, obviously feeling something. ”

Xu Huang's analysis is progressive, reasonable, and unconvincing.

"Besides, after the dismissal, Hu Guang was calm and calm, and everything was as usual, but Zhao Jie's behavior was obviously contrary to common sense."

Everyone was a little reluctant to agree with this, and Su Yao asked puzzledly.

"He was pointed out by thousands of people and closed his door, where is abnormal?"

Xu Huang said with a smile, "If you really feel shameless, you should go back to Shuzhong and avoid the land of right and wrong in Jingshi."

He prefers to make a posture of thinking behind closed doors, and he is greedy for the center of power in Kyoto, and refuses to leave, you say strange or not. ”

Su Yao touched his head, "When you say that, that's really the case." ”

"Zhao Jie's father is a ranger in Shuzhong, and he has always been close to those green forest heroes, but now, those people are missing."

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, rangers were a magical existence, they were brave and ruthless, and they were high-spirited, but at the same time, they were also very promised.

At that time, the folk martial arts were grand, and the ordinary people were quite envious of the rangers, and in the hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, there were many generals who were born in the words of the rangers.

There is even no shortage of rangers like Zhao Jie who take the road of civil officials.

It can be regarded as an alternative way out of the poor family.

Therefore, after Zhao Jie's accident, it is unlikely that those rangers will abandon him, otherwise they will be discredited, and there will be no credibility in the green forest in the future.

Instead, it is normal to help him run around and plan.

The more Liu Zhi listened, the more solemn his face became, "Su Yao, immediately notify Shan Chao and Yang Jian, find out Zhao Jie's whereabouts as soon as possible, and arrest him secretly." ”

"Whoa."

Su Yao also knew that the matter was urgent, so he agreed and turned around and hurried away without hesitation.

"Okay, you Zhao Jie!"

Liu Zhi punched the case, "I know why he wants to hold Li Gongzi's heir hostage."

I will definitely say that I was supported by Liang Ji at the beginning, and Li Gong was loyal and courageous all his life, so only King Qinghe, who he strongly supported, was the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. ”

Fortunately, several of Li Gong's sons were as loyal and upright as his father, and they were not bewitched and threatened by him.

"Immediately send someone to rescue the third son of Gong Li, and be sure to ensure their safety."

I didn't do it before, I just wanted to catch the big fish behind me, but now if I don't do it, the three Li Ji brothers are afraid that their lives are in danger.

"Whoa."

Behind him, the secret agent who was serving Long Lin Wei immediately took the order.

"Once Long Linwei takes action, he is afraid that he will not be able to hide it for long, and he will alarm the traitors.

From now on, all relevant personnel must be put into a state of combat readiness to respond to emergencies at any time. ”

"Whoa."

As the secret agents of the herald left one by one, the entire Jingshi, centered on the imperial palace, began to move.

It's like a clockwork gear machine, pulling a hair and moving the whole body, and the situation is about to erupt.

In an alley close to the West Garden, Zhao Jie, who had a white beard, had a heavy face, and after just a few months, he quickly became haggard, as if he was ten years old.

I saw that he kept walking around with his hands in his hands, and he seemed a little restless.

"Didn't you say you would do it together? Why are they still procrastinating, and if they continue like this, they will only miss the opportunity.

When the time comes, even if I can't escape, will they be able to stay out of it? ”

Several black-clothed men in front of them looked at each other and spoke cautiously.

"Lord, do you want your subordinates to kidnap a few hostages, and see if they dare to shirk it."

"That's not necessary, I have their correspondence and covenant books in my hand, I'm not afraid that they won't commit it, one by one is just greedy for life and afraid of death, I just hope that the old man will take the lead."

While a few people were talking, a man in black stumbled in outside the door.

"Lord, something happened, the eagle dog with Long Linwei sneaked into the villa, and the guards left behind suffered heavy casualties."
