Chapter 79: Friend and Foe Are Inseparable
"What's going on?"
When he came to the room, looking at the maid who was lying on the table in front of him and bleeding and had died, Zhao Hong was not necessarily shocked.
What's going on?
"Your Highness, the soup is too hot, Xiaocui blows, and she accidentally drinks it, and it becomes like this."
Zhou Ping carefully examined Xiaocui's death, his face pale.
Xiaocui is Zhou Xiuniang's personal maidservant, who grew up together since childhood, who knew that she was poisoned.
"Are the prince and lady alright?"
Zhao Hong asked nervously.
"The prince and the lady were fine, and for fear of alarming them, they let them go to the backyard. However, Xiuniang and Xiaocui have a deep relationship, and they can't stop crying......"
Zhou Ping's words made Zhao Hong relax a little.
"It's called Lang Zhong...... No, call the Imperial Doctor! Call the people of Lin'an Mansion to come! ”
Zhao Hong's face was pale, and he shouted angrily.
If you want to attack the prince, you are really mad. I don't know, is this the reason why the prince died in history in October?
"Seven orifices bleed, and Xiaocui was poisoned to death. I'm afraid the other party is running for the prince. ”
Zhou Ping said in a deep voice, Zhao Hong blackened his face and strode away.
The doctor came and diagnosed arsenic poisoning. Yin of Lin'an Mansion was present in person, and the suspect was attributed to Hu Er, the cook in the house, Hu Er had already fled, and Lin'an Mansion was wanted all over the city.
Lin'an City, Imperial City, Daqing Palace.
On the throne, Zhao Kuo's gaze swept over the ministers below, and his eyes fell on Zhao Hong.
The two looked at each other, Zhao Kuo nodded slightly, and Zhao Hong nodded slightly and returned the salute.
Zhao Hong understood that Zhao Kuo was asking about the situation of the emperor and grandson, and he also signaled that everything was fine.
Turning his gaze to Shi Miyuan, who was there with the old god, Zhao Hong's gaze unconsciously became cold.
Heaven wants to destroy it, let it go crazy first.
Although the political struggle is cold-blooded and cruel, it is also too shameless to do.
"Wu Jing, I came to ask you, has the murderer been arrested in the case of poisoning the Jiguo Mansion?"
Zhao Kuo's face was calm, and his gaze turned to Yin Wujing of Lin'an Mansion.
"Your Majesty, I have already noticed the traces of Hu Er, the cook of the Guogong Mansion, and I went to arrest him quickly, but after all, it was a step too late, and Hu Er had already committed suicide. There is no clue in this case, please punish Your Majesty. ”
Wu Jing stepped forward with a wat and played according to the facts.
Zhao Hong was secretly surprised in his heart. This is another headless case.
"The prince was poisoned, and the mastermind behind it got away with it, is this how you Lin'an Mansion handled the case?"
Zhao Kuo said softly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
The royal heir was thin, and he finally had a grandson, and he was almost poisoned, which really made Zhao Kuo unbearable.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."
Wu Jing knelt on the main hall and fell to the ground.
"Get up, go down and check again."
Zhao Kuo's tone was calm, and Wu Jing got up and replied to the court.
Zhao Hong shook his head secretly. This headless public case is over.
"Shi Xiang, what do you think about this matter?"
Zhao Kuo's eyes were complicated, and his eyes fell on Prime Minister Shi Miyuan, who did not say a word.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is busy with official business, and he has not paid attention to this case, so he has nothing to say."
Shi Miyuan's face was expressionless, but his voice was full of energy.
The corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at the ministers of the DPRK and China.
"This case is confusing, and the poisoner is mad, and his heart can be punished. Once it is verified, I will not pardon it. ”
poisoning the emperor and grandson can be punished. I don't know how many people are involved. There is not even a courtier who speaks up, what kind of courtier is this?
"Holy Heaven!"
Shi Miyuan's face was ugly, and he bowed.
Needless to ask, the emperor was already suspicious of him.
"Your Majesty, the minister is a copy of Zhao Hong, the prince of Jiguo!"
Shi Miyuan's face was gloomy, and Liang Chengda, the superintendent of the Imperial Palace, immediately stood up and bowed.
Zhao Hong couldn't help but be stunned.
Supervising the imperial history, he wants to participate in himself?
"Liang Yushi, there is a play!"
Zhao Kuo was also slightly stunned. This Liang Chengda, what kind of moth is going to come out?
"Zhao Hong, the minister of Jiguo, is not strict in taking care of his subordinates. Or maybe it's a bitter ploy, to win sympathy, to frame the minister, it is not yet known! ”
Liang Cheng's justice was awe-inspiring, and the hall was shocked, and Zhao Hong was also dumbfounded.
Is the relationship self-directed and self-acting, pouring dirty water on the frenzied other party?
"Liang Yushi, you have to be cautious. Do you have hard evidence? ”
Wei Liaoweng walked out of the column and said sharply.
This guy is a thief and shouts to catch a thief, what a big dog guts!
"There is no evidence in Lin'an Mansion, where is the evidence from the minister?"
Liang Chengda smiled coldly, a large basin of feces and urine, and Zhao Hong, who was poured it, was fragrant from head to toe.
"Hu Er and Xiaocui are both domestic slaves in the Jiguo Mansion, and they have followed the Jiguo Gong and his wife all the year round, and they have not had anything to do for many years. But after the birth of the emperor's grandson, he will be poisoned? That Hu Er was poisoned, didn't he know that Xiaocui had to test the soup in advance? Since he can test the soup, how can the emperor and grandson be poisoned? Isn't this self-defeating and ill-intentioned? ”
"Liang Chengda, you dog thief!"
Liang Chengda's words made Zhao Hongqi's nose crooked, and the wat board in his hand was smashed out directly, and then flashed out of the court and went straight to Liang Chengda.
This-stirring stick is too much for him to bear!
He was a victim, and now he was said to be the mastermind of the conspiracy, which was really unbearable for him.
"Quick! Hurry up and pull Jekook Gong back! ”
Zhao Kuo was also dumbfounded. Why is this prince so hot-tempered?
In a hurry, he flashed Zhao Hong's wat board, and when he saw Zhao Hong's angry eyes and pounce over, Liang Cheng's frightened face turned pale, flashed and moved, and immediately escaped among the ministers.
"Your Highness, forget it! Never mind! ”
The ministers were stunned, and hurriedly stopped Zhao Hong.
This Jiguo Gong fights when he doesn't agree with him, and he is happy to take revenge, but he is really a violent man!
"Your Highness, rest your anger!"
"Your Highness, dissipate your anger, this is not a place for fighting!"
The ministers grabbed Zhao Hong, who was red-faced, and persuaded him one after another, returned the wat board to him, and persuaded him to return to the ranks.
"Liang Chengda, you are untrustworthy and maliciously slander the Duke of Jiguo. Exit the main hall immediately and go back to introspection! ”
Zhao Kuo was unconscious and scolded.
"Your Majesty, the minister has wronged ......"
"Don't leave the temple yet! Do you want me to invite you personally? ”
Liang Chengda had to argue, Zhao Kuo's face was rare and pale, and his voice was much higher than usual.
"Your Majesty, the minister retires!"
Liang Chengda glanced at Zhao Hong, who was pale, and retreated.
"Jiguo Gong, if you don't pick it up, you will be fined for half a year."
Zhao Kuo's voice sounded.
"Minister...... Obey! ”
Zhao Hong calmed down and calmed down his anger.
Today, the envoy came to talk about the meeting between the two sides. If this is seen by the Jin people, it will damage the national body and lose the face of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Dajin Guozheng envoy Agu loan, deputy envoy Zhang Tiangang, according to the edict of Emperor Dajin, meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
As the sound outside the hall sounded, Zhao Kuo and the ministers looked towards the entrance of the main hall.
Under the guidance of the eunuch, the Jin envoy entered the hall with a bookcase in his hand, and this time he was much more humble than last time.
"Emperor Dajin sent a letter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
The golden envoy held the bookcase in his hand, respectfully. Zhang Tiangang, the deputy envoy in the back, glanced at the hall, stayed on Zhao Hong, and then took it back.
"Your Majesty, since the Shaoxing Peace Conference, the Jin and Song dynasties have created a field on the border, and there have been interruptions since then. Now that our emperor has ascended the throne, I am willing to restore the border with the Great Song Dynasty, exchange what is available, and benefit the two countries, and ask Your Majesty for permission! ”
Jin made Wanyan Agu loan respectful, and his face was soft.
"Honorable envoy, the restoration of the field in the Huaishui line, Xiangyang Mansion, and Lintao Mansion is a good deed for the benefit of the country and the people.
Zhao Kuo put down the national credentials and raised his head.
"Opening up the field to each other is a major event for the two countries. Shi Xiang is a big Song Dongliang, and the minister wants to ask, what does Shi Xiang think of this matter? ”
Zhang Tiangang, the deputy envoy of the Jin State, bowed solemnly, and his eyes swept to Shi Miyuan.
Zhao Hong couldn't help but be shocked. This Zhang Tiangang, elevating the prime minister and degrading the king, didn't he roast Shi Miyuan on the fire?
Zhao Kuo on the throne was silent, his pupils contracted slightly.
Wei Liaoweng, Wu Jing and others in the main hall all had ugly faces.
Zhang Tiangang's move was unintentional and self-defeating, and obviously aroused public indignation.
"Honorable envoy, big and small state affairs, it is my Song Dynasty Emperor Qiankun dictatorship. Under is the Great Song Dynasty courtier, only my Great Song Dynasty Emperor is the first to look forward, this matter has my Great Song Dynasty Emperor decide, the old man is just acting on the orders of the king! ”
Shi Miyuan's face was gloomy, and he said it coldly.
This envoy of the Dajin Kingdom is talking nonsense, and he really doesn't know what to say.
"Dajin envoy, restore the field, this is a major matter between the two countries, how can a decision be made in a hurry? The envoy should go back to the post house first and wait for the good news! ”
The ruling minister, Xue Ji, followed and spoke.
Restarting the field is a good act, which is not only beneficial to the financial endowment of the imperial court, but also can stop the fighting, and he agrees with it in his heart.
"In this way, the Great Song Dynasty is willing to reopen the field. I don't know what His Royal Highness Jiguo Gong thinks? ”
Zhang Tiangang's spearhead suddenly pointed at Zhao Hong.
"This ......"
Zhao Hong glanced at Zhao Kuo and the ministers, hesitating, not knowing what Zhang Tiangang's intentions were, Zhang Tiangang opened his mouth again.
"His Royal Highness Jeguogong, as the only prince of the Great Song Dynasty, the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, the future crown prince, and an adult, does he really know nothing about state affairs?"
Zhao Hong "chuckled" in his heart. The golden envoy will target Shi Miyuan for a while, and then for himself, and he can't figure out what this person's intentions are?
"Your Excellency, you must not sow discord and speak wildly. My Emperor Song and the prince have a deep relationship between father and son, and the monarchs and ministers know each other, what is your intention to talk so nonsense? ”
Wei Liaoweng was full of anger and angrily reprimanded Zhang Tiangang.
Zhang Tiangang smiled coldly and was not afraid.
"Wei Xianggong, don't exaggerate and make a fuss. Ji Guogong is talented, Wen Taowu is strategic, and everyone knows my Dajin. Whether it is his "Linjiang Immortal" or his "Tatar Policy", they are all shocking and can be a masterpiece for the ages! As the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he listened to the government in the dynasty and did not see a promotion for four years, isn't he a puppet? The emperor and grandson were poisoned, and it was over, but it can be seen that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty was humble, and everyone could plot and humiliate, which made people laugh. ”
"Honorable envoy, the Duke of Jiguo is the only prince of my Great Song Dynasty, and the only crown prince, the future of the country, there is no humbleness."
Wei Liaoweng couldn't help but be stunned and blurted out. Feelings, this Tiangang, is it for Zhao Honghug to fight unevenly?
The ministers in the hall were silent, and Zhao Kuo finally spoke.
"Zhao Hong, as the prince of my Great Song Dynasty and the prince of the country, the border between the two countries has been reset, what do you think, you might as well speak up."
The ministers in the palace looked at each other, all frightened.
The Jin envoy was aggressive, and the official family seemed to push the boat along the river, wanting to let the prince Zhao Hong take the throne.
"Your Majesty, Honorable Envoy, the two countries will reset the field for the benefit of the country and the people, and the ministers will be in favor of it. However, the choice of location, the selection of officials, and the decrees of the imperial court must be considered one by one, and should not be hastily carried out, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”
Zhao Hong walked out, decent.
He was also secretly surprised. As soon as the golden envoy came out like this, what was this going to do? Are you helping yourself?
Prince, that's the root of his dreams.
Zhao Kuo nodded appreciatively. Zhao Hong knew all about the laws of the imperial court and local government affairs, and his answers were not leaky.
It is a matter of course, and perhaps it is time to establish the candidate for the crown prince.
It seems that I still have to talk to Queen Yang Guizhi.
"Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, September is the birthday of my Dajin Emperor, before the envoy, my Dajin Emperor's holy edict, Wen Jiguo's official literature and martial arts, specially invited Jiguo Gong to envoy Jinguo, to participate in my Dajin Emperor's birthday. Please also ask the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to grant permission! ”
Zhang Tiangang said loudly, Zhao Kuo and the courtiers in the hall heard it clearly.
"Your honor, Emperor Dajin is kind, and my Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers have received it. As for whether the Duke of Jiguo will send an envoy to the Dajin Kingdom, after the court discussion, my Da Song will give an answer to your envoy. ”
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Hong and nodded slightly.
can let the owner personally invite him to attend his birthday, this Zhao Hong, today is enough face for Da Song.
Zhao Hong went out of the palace, and he was also secretly suspicious.
What happened to the golden envoy today, is it friend or foe, and what does it mean?
