Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 288
"Father, Wang Xiu is bewitching people's hearts. Now people inside and outside Kaifeng are panicking. Otherwise, it will be difficult to stabilize people's hearts." Zhao Huan was very dissatisfied with Wang Xiu's frivolity. Can't think too much.Zhu Lian warned him not to do it, but he couldn't bear it anymore and came to the inner palace to play.

Zhao Ji was about to enjoy the singing and dancing, but was interrupted by his son, and said very unhappy: "Understood, we will talk about this later, go if you have nothing to do."

When Zhao Huan saw Zhao Ji honoring Wang Xiu, he immediately turned his anger away, regardless of whether his father was happy or not, he argued forcefully, "Father, there is chaos inside and outside the city now, if you don't punish Wang Xiu, I'm afraid something will change."

"What big things can happen, what changes? Could it be that the ancestors never encountered foreign invasions, how was the city of Kaifeng calm at that time? Besides, Wang Xiu is just arguing right and wrong. If he is not allowed to speak, who would dare to do anything?" Zhao Ji Glancing at Zhao Huan, he said coldly: "You are the prince, not the vassal king of the old country. Don't follow others' opinions. When Taizong and Zhenzong were emperors, Khitan entered every year. If you enter like you, outsiders have not come in yet. It's messed up, don't let me back down."

Faced with Zhao Ji's scolding, Zhao Huan felt unwilling, but blushed.Can't deny Zhao Ji's words, isn't it a foreign invasion?Is the Song Dynasty still facing fewer wars?If there's anything to mess with, think about it, it's all caused by scholars and tabloids.

He was unwilling. Wang Xiu went beyond the scope of words and judged the national policy. Naturally, he couldn't let it go.However, when he saw Liang Shicheng's warning gaze, he became alert again, not daring to disobey Zhao Ji, so he sighed and retreated in dismay.

Zhao Kai stood quietly by the side, his heart was much more vivid, Wang Xiu actually made such a big fuss, and even asserted that the Jurchens invaded in December, it's so mysterious!

He showed his favor to Wang Xiu several times, but every time they greeted him with a smile and treated him politely and politely, but they rejected him coldly in that elegance, which made him really annoyed and helpless.

Wang Fu's resignation made him at a loss. There are many people who support him, but he no longer has a strong person to support him. He is very optimistic about Wang Xiu, but he has been repeatedly rejected. The mud bodhisattva is still three-pointed. This is a good opportunity what!

"Father, elder brother is too worried, but Wang Zhige's assertion of the invasion is really suspected of speculation, and father has to be on guard." Finally, he couldn't bear his dissatisfaction with Wang Xiu, and took another step that made him regret.

Zhao Ji treated Zhao Kai much more gently. After all, Zhao Kai spoke in a different way. He said with a smile, "There is a suspicion of speculation, but Wang Xiu has a strategic foresight. He must have seen something. Have you ever seen his plans fail?" ?”

Zhao Kai was startled, his face changed twice, and he lost his voice: "Could it be true?"

"Jurchen has just captured the Khitan king, and is about to appease the old people of Khitan, so there is no spare energy to go south." Zhao Ji smiled disapprovingly.

"But Wang Zhige is a wonderful person!" Zhao Kai smiled faintly.

Liang Shicheng was on the side, squinting his eyes and glanced at Zhao Kai, sneering in his heart.He was well aware of Zhao Kai's wooing Wang Xiu, no wonder Wang Xiu didn't want to get on the boat of Yun Mansion, he was really helpless!If you want to harm people, you must kill people, and if you want to win people, you must persevere. It can only be annoying to have both sides.

For the first time, he felt a sense of crisis, and he was glad that he and Wang Fu were planning to hide behind the scenes, preventing others from getting evidence, and there was still a way for the prince to save the situation.

"Officials, Jurchen asked Li Xiaohe, the Qing envoy, to see him." A member of the Huang family came in and said in a high-pitched voice.

Zhao Ji's face was very ugly, and he said lightly: "Xuan."

Li Xiaohe is of Bohai Han nationality, he came in carelessly, that is to say, he bowed and fell to the ground.

"What's the matter with the Qing family?" Zhao Ji asked unhurriedly, not caring about being rude.

"Your Majesty, the foreign ministers heard that the ministers of the imperial court were alarmist, saying that our emperor wanted to go south to hunt and deliberately provoke the relationship between the north and the south, so the foreign ministers had to come to inquire." Hearing Zhao Ji address him, Li Xiaohe's face was a little ugly. He looked down on Zhao Ji, because the Jurchen was strong and was about to go south, he just wanted to find out the truth, and he didn't respect Zhao Ji very much.

Zhao Ji's expression was even worse. He said with a gloomy face, "It's all rumors in the market. It's okay to make an alliance between the imperial court and the Jurchen. Your envoys don't need to worry."

Li Xiaohe smiled playfully, and said loudly: "I heard that it is Zhilong Tuge Wang Xiu who claimed that our emperor declared war in October, please explain clearly to your Majesty."

"It's just a rumor, the envoy doesn't need to think too much." The corner of Zhao Ji's mouth twitched.

"As a minister, he underestimated himself and aroused the suspicion of his allies. Foreign ministers are really surprised that this kind of person can be in the temple." Li Xiaohe confronted unceremoniously.

Zhao Ji's eyelids trembled, and he felt troubled for a while, although he didn't like Li Xiaohe's aggressiveness, but thinking that Wang Xiu was not lying and would not offend this killer, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

He suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Minister Meng Lang, this is normal, I have already scolded him."

"Can this kind of person stay in the court? If that's the case, the foreign ministers will report the truth to our emperor when they return to the country." Li Xiaohe's attitude was half-yin and half-yang, with a nonchalant expression on his face, and he bowed his head and walked away impolitely as he spoke. Don't take the emperor of Song Dynasty seriously.That's right, the war is about to start, why is he still calling Zhao Ji!People were originally trying to find out the truth of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji's face was ashen, and his lips trembled in anger, but the Jurchens were indeed very strong, and he didn't want to provoke them for a small matter.

"Father, the Jurchen envoy is rampant, my son will teach him a lesson." Zhao Kai was really angry, not just for show.

"A person who is a master can't spoil the country's major affairs because of small things, do you understand?" Zhao Ji looked at his son and spoke softly.

Liang Shicheng's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Zhao Kai thoughtfully.

Zhao Kai looked quite helpless, and said in a low voice: "My child understands, listen to the tone of the Jurchen envoy, if Wang Xiu is not punished, they may have trouble again."

"Well, it's good that you can think of this level. How can I not know that the Jurchens are peeping at the heart of the Central Plains, because I'm afraid they will find an excuse." Zhao Ji was very unwilling to face it, but he vaguely felt that Wang Xiu was right, but he couldn't Accept the assertion of the October invasion.

But he said that after Zhao Huan came out, he was full of anger, and his face became paler and paler. He resisted getting in the car and drove back to the East Palace. He was also extremely cautious in his own territory. The official kiln teacup was broken.

"What's wrong with the officials?" Zhu Lian came in just in time, and frowned slightly when he saw the broken porcelain on the ground.

Zhao Huan let out a long breath, and said bitterly: "Wang Xiu's bewitching words confuse the public, but the officials don't care about it. It's really hateful."
