The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1747 Zhao Kuangyin's Bureau
"Is it because His Highness was injured, His Majesty is dissatisfied with him, do you want to change, want to change the prince?"

"Shhhhh, don't talk nonsense, be careful not to lose your head. You must be careful when speaking here in the capital. Not only will your official position not be guaranteed, but you may also implicate the nine clans, so you must be silent."

Several officials were chatting aside, and someone actually mentioned the matter of Zhao Xu being reprimanded. Although some people said that he was forbidden to speak, they didn't say anything, but they kept muttering in their hearts that the emperor had never been in front of a minister before. This was the first time he reprimanded Zhao Xu face to face.

Some time ago, it was not said that the crown prince Zhao Xu was seriously injured. Could it be that there is some hidden disease in his body? People who are in poor health inherit the throne, which is not good for the future, and everyone began to want to see who has a better chance.

"Brother, brother, I'm sorry. I really didn't know that you opened the gambling stall, so I let you play the memorial. Unexpectedly, my brother was scolded by the emperor. I am really sorry."

Zhao Xu came back on the front foot, and Zhao Lin followed him on the back foot. Zhao Lin came to apologize. If he hadn't played, Zhao Kuangyin wouldn't be so angry, and he wouldn't be furious after knowing that it was Zhao Xu's gambling stall, saying It seems that this has a lot to do with Zhao Lin's memorial.

"Hey, second brother, what are you doing? Get up quickly. It doesn't matter to you. Is this also your duty? I can also take this opportunity to take a good rest. I have never been so leisurely in so many years. Wouldn't it be better, now my body really can't take on so many heavy responsibilities, from now on you have to take care of your father, after all, this country belongs to my Zhao family, understand, today's matter has nothing to do with you, you just need to Just do your duty."

Zhao Xu helped Zhao Lin to comfort him, and asked Zhao Lin to take on more important responsibilities in the future. Before Zhao Xu finished speaking, someone came from the palace and said that Zhao Kuangyin wanted Zhao Xu to enter the palace immediately, and Zhao Xu did not delay. followed into the palace.

"Tell me, when did you get such a gambler? You are the crown prince of the Song Dynasty. How could you do such low-level jobs? This is a kind of weakness to your prestige. I have to reprimand you in front of the court ministers. .”

"Actually, we can't prohibit this kind of gambling. Do you know how I deal with the proceeds? Basically, they are distributed to the common people. What do you think about the porridge shop that opens every day in front of the gambling stall? It was all contributed by rich businessmen. It is impossible for them to directly use it to help those poor people. I just changed the method. The gambling stalls cost at least 1000 taels to enter, and ordinary people can’t get in at all. .”

Zhao Xu explained to Zhao Kuangyin why he opened the gambling stall himself. It turns out that everything is for doing good deeds. In this way, Zhao Xu is serving the country and the people, just like the Taoxiang Tower, which Zhao Xu left behind There are very few, and basically all of them are used in the country.

"Hmph, you didn't say earlier that I knew about your gambler, but you just suspected who was using the gambler to do things. If someone with ulterior motives, it would be troublesome, so I didn't dare to be careless. In fact, those few I killed the Fusang people, and I want to kill two birds with one stone."

Zhao Xu really yelled that he was wronged. It was all done by his father, because he suspected that someone was gambling for money. At the same time, he also had doubts about those Fusang people. On the one hand, we can send troops to monitor those Fusang people all the time.

"What? You didn't arrange for those five ruffians to kill them, did they? I followed them for a while, thinking it was some kind of conspiracy. The feeling is your old man."

Zhao Xu really fainted. Those people were found by Zhao Kuangyin. It was really a flood that washed over the Dragon King Temple.

"At that time, I taught Liu Qinhu a little lesson. Didn't he tell you after he went back? He told you not to let him interfere. Didn't Liu Qinhu understand what he said, because that person accidentally It’s leaked a bit, can’t Liu Qinhu see it?”

Zhao Kuangyin's people taught Liu Qinhu a lesson, and deliberately leaked a little information, which actually showed his identity, but Liu Qinhu didn't realize it.

"Well, what I don't understand is why you old man did this. What the hell are these Fusang people doing? Why don't you just send troops to protect them? It's still such a troublesome thing to do. Wouldn't it be enough if a decree came down?"

"I know that too, but I don't want to do that. Only when their lives are killed can I do it secretly. I don't believe that they would be so kind as to come to study with us. There must be a conspiracy, but we don't know it now. , You didn’t mean that the king of Fusang is now Zhu Qianchou, but he has a mortal enmity with us, how could he make peace with us so easily, if it were me, I wouldn’t do it either.”

Zhao Kuangyin is not ignorant, he is even more understanding. Fusang people can only expose their intentions by jumping over the wall in a hurry.

"I just want to trap them to death, and then slowly play to death. I don't think it will take a few months for all 1000 of them to die. It's not because I'm cruel. They are aliens, and we don't have the same heart, especially Zhu Qianchou has also put you in a desperate situation many times, and even invaded our coast, and I will not let them go."

Zhao Kuangyin actually wanted to trap these 1000 people to death, and then slowly kill them. This emperor is ruthless, but Zhao Xu likes his father's style. These people are not his own clansmen, so it's no big deal if they die of.

Zhao Kuangyin's sending troops to protect them was a lie. It was probably a blatant attack on them. This must have been unexpected by the people of Fusang. What Zhao Kuangyin meant was that if the war with Khitan was not in full swing, Fusang would have taken care of them long ago.

"I didn't expect this gambling stall to be yours, and I blame you for not being there. Otherwise, how could I not know, but you can continue in another place. Anyway, this is a good thing, and it is good for the people. Those rich businessmen It’s a good idea to have more money.”

Zhao Xu came back from the palace. Many people heard the emperor lose his temper, and then saw Zhao Xu running out. Everyone was talking about it for a while.

That night, Fusang people went out to drink, got drunk, and had a quarrel with local ruffians in Bianjing. More than ten people were killed. happy look.

The leaders of the Fusang people can't take it anymore. In the past two days or so, more than a dozen people have died, so what should they do?
