Chapter 66: Butterflies Spread Their Wings

"Daddy, mother's ......"

Zhao Hong wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Kuo knew it and relieved Zhao Hong.

"Don't worry, she knows Zhao Guicheng very well. She hates flattery and clever things the most. However, she seems to have a deep prejudice against you, and it will be difficult to get rid of it in the short term. ”

Zhao Hong was secretly embarrassed.

Yang Guizhi is shrewd and capable, and he hates people to be clever the most, and everything he does like Zhao Guicheng naturally can't escape Yang Guizhi's eyes.

If you want to ease the relationship with Yang Guizhi, forget it.

"I called you into the palace today because I want to hear what you mean."

Zhao Kuo took out a copy of the fold from his arms and handed it over.

"This is Shi Miyuan's excerpt, you can take it and take a look."

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare!"

Zhao Hong hurriedly thanked him.

has always been arbitrary, and the royal pen personally criticized, making him a transparent person, which made him really flattered.

He is not even a prince, he is just a prince who will be "exchanged for a prince" at any time.

This won't be an excerpt to recommend Zhao Guicheng to promote the Imperial City Division, right?

Subconsciously, Zhao Hong looked around.

The surrounding pavilions and gardens hide many covetous and prying eyes.

"If you are told to see, you will see!"

Zhao Kuo's brows furrowed slightly.

"The boy does what he does!"

Zhao Hong stepped forward, bowed, and took the fold.

"Imperial Division? Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi? ”

Zhao Hong unfolded the fold, took a closer look, and pretended to be surprised.

"Not bad! Shi Miyuan went to the fold and asked Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, to raise the Imperial City Division, and the queen did not object. What's in your mind? ”

Zhao Kuo looked ahead, silent.

Zhao Hong was secretly frightened, presented the fold, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty is arbitrary, and the ministers dare not speak in vain."

In this matter, only Zhao Kuo is in charge, and it is inappropriate to open his mouth by himself.

The Imperial City Division, in charge of the palace entry and exit bans, all the palace guards in the imperial city, the opening and closing of the palace gate, is also responsible for investigating the situation in the army, preventing conspiracy and disturbance, and is the emperor's personal guard, similar to the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Guicheng mastered the Imperial City Division, which means that the entire Imperial City of Lin'an City, including the emperor, is under Zhao Guicheng's control.

To be precise, it is under the control of Shi Miyuan.

Shi Miyuan's excerpt seems to be for the sake of the royal family, but in fact, his heart can be punished.

"In the past two years, Shi Miyuan and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government have been repeatedly nagging in my ears, saying good things about Zhao Guicheng, what loyalty, filial piety, knowledge, and vision. My ears will hear the cocoon. ”

Zhao Kuo's face was calm, and he said slowly, as if he was talking about another person's business.

Zhao Hong was secretly frightened.

While he was working hard, the other party was not idle, and had already begun to build momentum for his competitors, and it affected Zhao Kuo here.

He is fighting alone, but the other party is overwhelmed, and it is really frustrating to say that he controls the palace ban.

"Your Majesty, the heir of King Yi is loyal and honest, and he is also filial. With him in charge of the Imperial City Division, His Majesty can also rest assured. ”

At this time, Zhao Hong could only say something against his will.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable, if he says bad things about King Yi, I am afraid that he will be seen as jealous and jealous.

Sure enough, Zhao Hong's words made Zhao Kuo laugh softly.

"When is it, you're still worried about others. You're not honest sometimes, but I know you can't help it. ”

Zhao Kuo shook his head slightly. Who knows, what this Zhao Hong said is not from his heart.

However, it's okay like this, it seems that this kid still has some city government, and he is not easy to be fooled and calculated by others.

"In front of me, you don't have to hide it. In this world, I'm afraid that only you and my father and son are connected. ”

Zhao Kuo sighed, he had been ill for a long time, and the matter of establishing the prince of the East Palace seemed to be urgent.

Zhao Hong is the prince, Zhao Guicheng is the emperor's nephew, and the crown prince is of course the prince.

Moreover, Zhao Hong's talent, age, and practical performance are more reassuring than Zhao Guicheng.

However, if he wants to establish the prince of the East Palace and the prince of a country, if he is a group of royal pens, the queen and Shi Miyuan, what will they think?

"Zhao Hong, you have been made a prince for four years, but you have never been made a prince, do you have any complaints in your heart?"

Zhao Kuo's sudden sentence made Zhao Hong's heart tremble, and the sweat on his forehead came out.

I'll go!

What prince doesn't want to be a prince?

Especially considering that Zhao Hong was "killed" after being "put into the wild" in history, and he didn't want to be the prince, is he stupid?

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't want to make a minister the crown prince, then depose the minister, let the minister go to the outside world, and fend for himself!"

Zhao Hong stiffened his head and bowed, his tone sincere.

He didn't understand why Zhao Kuo was seriously ill in history and didn't make Zhao Hong the crown prince? Or Zhao Hongde is not worthy, or Shi Miyuan and Queen Yang cover the sky with one hand and hide from Zhao Hong?

Zhao Hong's abolition has something to do with the fact that he is not the prince. After all, Shi Miyuan still has to take into account the criticism of the government and the opposition.

Today, it seems that Zhao Kuo is not a complete puppet. Above the court, he, a Great Song Dynasty official, still has some influence.

There is always some clear stream, and I don't buy the accounts of Shi Miyuan and Queen Yang.

"The Outer Lands? Die? ”

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Hong in surprise and smiled softly.

"Zhao Hong, are you forcing the palace?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is just protecting himself, and has nothing else to do. Your Majesty! ”

Zhao Hong was shocked, knelt down, kowtowed, and bowed.

can't be the prince, even if he is a prince, he is not arbitrarily kneaded by Shi Miyuan. Either you are the son of heaven, or you go away, avoid Shi Miyuan's sphere of influence, and save your life.

"Zhao Hong, it's cold in high places. Once virtue is not matched, it will be a disaster for the country and the people. ”

Zhao Kuo looked ahead and said softly, as if muttering to himself.

After a moment, he looked at Zhao Hong, his eyes blazing.

"Zhao Hong, is the position of the prince really so important to you?"

Is it really that important?

It's really important! Hell-important thing!

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to be the prince, firstly, to avoid trouble, and secondly, to the great Song Dynasty. As His Majesty said, it is not cold in high places. What the minister also wants to say is that if you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight, the king is not power, nor is it glory and wealth, but more responsibility, the responsibility of enriching the country and strengthening the army, the responsibility of the people to live a good life, the responsibility of saving the Song Dynasty, and the responsibility of restoring the old mountains and rivers. ”

Zhao Hong knelt on the ground and said.

"The Tatar soldiers are strong and strong, and they are invincible, and everything they pass is broken. My Great Song Dynasty is a land of ointment, prosperous and rich, and Tatar has long coveted it. In less than ten years, the Tatars will destroy the summer and the Jin, and there will be fierce battles between our Great Song Dynasty and the Tatars. If you don't fight early, I'm afraid that there will really be a disaster of losing the country! ”

After Zhao Hong finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily. He raised his head, and Zhao Kuo met his gaze.

Finally, when Zhao Hong's eyes were about to blink, Zhao Kuocai looked away and waved his hand gently.

"Get up and speak."

Zhao Hong's words and righteous words made him speechless for a while.

Jun is weak and strong, and he is constrained everywhere, he really doesn't know how to answer Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong got up, stood aside, and stood solemnly with his hands down.

"Even if you become a prince, what can you do? The prince's power in this dynasty is weak, and it is difficult to control the court. The queen and you are difficult to reconcile for a while. Your personality is too Gengjie, how many people have you offended. When I think about it, I can't even meditate. ”

Zhao Kuo shook his head and smiled helplessly.

There was finally some expression on his face.

The court dared to scare the heavens and the earth, and his mouth was open, Shi Miyuan did not let it go, he was too strong and stubborn.

It can be said that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, those who can be offended, and those who cannot be offended, have all been offended by Zhao Hong.

"Your Majesty, if the country lives and dies, will it not be avoided because of misfortune and fortune. The minister knew that he was young and frivolous before, and he offended many people. However, if Shi Miyuan continues to control the government and appoint cronyism, the government will decline day by day. At that time, the Tatar iron cavalry went south, conquered the city, and the people were in dire straits. Is this what His Majesty wants to see? ”

Zhao Hong continued to be "alarmist". For these kings born in the deep palace, only by increasing intimidation and instilling the crisis of the end times can they be more cautious and courageous and make a choice.

Of course, it is also possible for Zhao Kuo to condemn him, or even dismiss his crown prince. But this has come to this, and I can only fight it.

"If a country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil? Well said! ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, and then asked in a trembling voice.

"That...... Tartar, is it really that ...... Is it scary? ”

The Tatar army was in full swing, and drove the Jin people to the south of the Yellow River, and the east of the river, Hebei, and Shandong were full of devastation, and there were no people for hundreds of miles.

If the Tatar army went south, wouldn't the Great Song Dynasty ......

At this time, he couldn't help but think of the monks in the Mongolian army who dug up the emperor's tomb and used the king's skull as a drinking utensil.

"Your Majesty, the Tatars and the Jin people are at war, and the entire Hebei and Shanxi are uninhabited for thousands of miles, and the corpses and bones are everywhere. If Tatar goes south, what is the fate of my Great Song court, what is the fate of the people, and what is the fate of my Great Song royal family? Will there be rivers of blood and mountains of corpses? Could it be that my Great Song royal family will also be slaughtered? Will the remains of the king of the Great Song Dynasty also be made into drinking utensils? ”

Zhao Hong saw that Zhao Kuo's face was pale, and he said it while the iron was hot.

The Great Song Dynasty official family who grew up with the high walls of the deep palace and the splendid article should not be so strong.

"Nonsense! Alarmist! ”

Sure enough, Zhao Hong's words made Zhao Kuo, who had always been calm and composed, finally change color on his face.

The blood flowed like a river, the corpses piled up like a mountain, and they were all killed, is this the fate of the Great Song Dynasty in the future?

The remains of the king of the Great Song Dynasty were also made into drinking utensils, and they could not live in peace after death.

It also seems too ...... Cruel, right?

"Your Majesty, it is not alarmist, but based on the facts. Tatars regard killing as their natural principle, and the more they kill, the more they will be regarded as heroes, which is very different from my Great Song Dynasty. But the vast majority of courtiers and countrymen knew nothing about Tatars, and this is the curse! ”

Zhao Hong was ruthless and did not flinch.

At this time, if he doesn't add fire, I am afraid that his fate will be the same as in history, he will be deprived of the position of prince, not to mention, and finally forced to commit suicide.

Zhao Kuo, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, his "father", may be his only reliance.

"If Zhao Guicheng succeeds to the throne and feels the grace of his support, he will respect Shi Miyuan as the prime minister, let him control the government, and follow the old ways, the Great Song Dynasty will become weaker and weaker, and he can only be slaughtered by others at that time. At this turbulent time, it is not to keep the king, but to be a person with great courage and wisdom, otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger! ”

Zhao Hong said it solemnly.

He is talking about history, without any exaggeration. The Southern Song Dynasty was under the rule of Shi Miyuan, all the way to the landslide, under the inertia, it was difficult to return, and finally slipped from the cliff mountain, and the bones were gone.

"Zhao Guicheng? Go down! I have my own decision! ”

Zhao Kuo's face was ugly, and he scolded softly, and his previous composure was gone.

His face was ugly, he didn't look at Zhao Hong, he called the eunuch, and pushed himself away.

"Reckless! Retire! ”

Zhao Hong was respectful and bowed.

"Go back and do your firearms business, don't think nonsense, be honest with me, and don't make another disaster!"

Zhao Kuo didn't reply, and whispered.

"I have already issued an order to summon Zhen Dexiu to return to the center, let him teach you well, how to cultivate your self-cultivation and cultivate your character, and Taoguang to cultivate obscurity."

"Thank you!"

Zhao Hong bowed again.

can make Zhao Kuo, who is like a water, upset, it seems that his words have hit Zhao Kuo's sore spot.

Apocalyptic crisis? Or is the head made into drinking utensils?

Could it be that it was because of these few words that Zhao Kuo went berserk?

Zhen Deok so is finally going back to the dynasty, which seems to be a victory fruit of his own efforts, which is worth celebrating.

After all the efforts, the butterfly finally spread its wings. As for how it will end in the future, we can only continue to rampage and wait and see.
