Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 774
Recently, Zhao Chen is very happy. More and more evidence is against Wang Xiu. The time is ripe to overthrow the powerful officials. He wants to completely grasp the power of the military and the country.

What made him even more angry was that when Zhao Duofu, the eldest princess of Fuguo, came to the palace, his aunt and nephew said some commonplace things, naturally talking about Cai Qu and Zhao Fujin.

Zhao Duofu said in tears that Zhao Fu's life was poor, but he didn't know where he was in captivity in the north. Cai Wei ignored him, it was really hateful.Now, this son-in-law Cai has taken in a concubine, and seems to have forgotten Zhao Fujin.

Zhao Chen has no impression of the Maode Emperor Ji back then, but he respects Zhao Duofu very much.After all, the elders of the royal family, that is, Zhao Gou, Zhao Duofu, and the Princess Dachang, treated the standing staff very generously, often giving them gifts, and also gave them very courteous receptions.

Zhao Duofu's sorrow made him very angry, and he immediately summoned Cai Wei to the palace to meet with His Majesty, and he wanted to ask Cai Wei why he was so ruthless to his aunt.

When the disheveled Cai Kui came, Zhao Chen scolded him mercilessly, making him extremely ugly, and even his body trembled constantly, even to the verge of eruption.

Zhao Duofu looked at him coldly, with flashes of complacency in his flickering eyes from time to time, and she was still persuading Zhao Chen to protect Cai Wei and show some dignity to his son-in-law.In the end, it made Zhao Chen even more angry. The eldest princess didn't know where to go. You, a son-in-law, are drunk all day long, how can you be decent.

That grievance is in Cai Kuang's heart!I have endured humiliation for so many years, returned to the court inexplicably, and knew many inside stories that I should not know.

Ever since I saw Wang Xiu in full bloom, and saw the rest of the Cai family, I put out my thoughts. I wanted to live this rest of my life in peace, but I didn't expect the officials to turn their faces and let him lose face. How can I say that I am also The emperor's uncle had worked hard to serve the two empresses, but he couldn't even keep his last dignity.

Thinking of Zhao Huan's cruel treatment of the Cai family, two elder brothers were killed, and the old father starved to death, he felt extremely miserable and couldn't bear it any longer, so he burst into tears and said like crazy: "The emperor has made an oath not to kill the scholar-bureaucrats, My two elder brothers both died under the Taishang's knife, and my old father was also frozen and starved to death. I have served the two Taishangs hard for ten years, and I never thought that I would be humiliated like this."

"Emperor Ji was not taken captive at all, so why is she suffering in the north? I, a mere captive and humiliated person, have no right to inquire about her? She was taken away in Kaifeng, but the officials want to question me."

Crazy people don't talk about the door at all, and they speak out in one go.

Zhao Chen was taken aback, he never expected that Cai Kuan would go crazy, let alone that there was such a hidden secret, he stared wide-eyed and didn't know what to say.

It is true that Cai Kuan rants, but this is a family matter, and he has made great achievements in ten years of humiliation. It is too much to punish him for such a bad thing, not to mention that Zhao Huanxian did not behave properly, but he was very embarrassed.

It was Zhao Huan who pioneered the killing of scholar-bureaucrats. Although it was a secret assassination, it was still a person who filled the government and the public with righteous indignation, but it was shocking to the scholars.

Since the founding of the country, non-rebellious crimes have been regarded as treachery and evil, even if it is the loss of power and humiliation of the country, it is three thousand miles of thorns, which makes scholars even more unhappy.

It can be said that Zhao Huan set a precedent, an extremely bad precedent, which was criticized by the scholars in the government and the field. The scholars kept calling for regaining the lost ground and welcoming back the emperor.

Can an overlord who kills scholars be accepted by scholars?Why take it back!Is it a continuation of the previous precedent?Who wants to hang a knife across the neck?

Zhao Duofu looked strange, and said calmly: "Officials, it's better to send the son-in-law back, don't mention this matter again."

Zhao Chen frowned, fearing that Cai Kuang would lose his mind and be in a difficult situation, so he waved his sleeves and said impatiently: "Okay, help the son-in-law back to the mansion."

Several servants hurried in and dragged down Cai Kuang who was venting.

"Auntie, is what the son-in-law said true?" Zhao Chen was stunned for a while, and then remembered what Cai Yan said, and his face became ugly.

Zhao Roujia blinked, her face was a bit troubled, she said in a low voice: "It seems that you are not an ordinary person to be able to rob Fourth Sister in Kaifeng!"

Zhao Chen was thoughtful, no matter how incompetent he was, he could still understand the reasoning behind it. After pondering for a while, he said resolutely: "Come here, hurry up and announce Zhang Qiyuan's audience."

Zhao Roujia looked at Zhao Chen with a smile that was not a smile, with a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth, but she couldn't see the palace man beside her, lowering her head, not knowing what to do.

Zhang Qiyuan was on duty at the Privy Council, so he got up immediately to see him, Zhao Roujia also left with excuses, the two monarchs and ministers underestimated for a long time.

In the end, Zhang Qiyuan said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very important. With Your Majesty's support, Your Majesty will have a three-point chance of winning, and the son-in-law is also a good move. No matter whether it is true or not, you only need one sentence to decide the big things."

"Your Majesty, I asked Zhang Quan." Zhao Chen shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, hold on for a few days." Zhang Qiyuan gritted his teeth authentically, and it was a good knife, so it would be a pity to miss it.

"You said, the captive sent back the son-in-law, and then sent back Concubine Wei Xian, what's the intention?" Zhao Chen drew inferences from one instance, but he was not quite sure.

"It must be Wang Wenshi who is trying to win over the King. The concubine Xian is about to arrive, and I hope Your Majesty will make a quick decision." Zhang Qiyuan shuddered, feeling uncomfortable.

Zhao Chen smacked his lips, his eyes flickered, and he didn't speak.

It was night, and Wang Xiu, dressed in a fresh suit, was standing quietly in the small courtyard of Fengle Building, but Wen Xijun was by his side.

"Officer, why did you think of inviting a captive?" Wen Xijun was somewhat dissatisfied, and glanced at Wang Xiu resentfully. She hated the Jurchens deeply, and the hatred of the third sister was unforgettable in her heart.

Wang Xiu smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Of course it makes sense, well, go and get busy! This will be the time for guests."

"That's fine, out of sight and out of mind, the officials call me when they have something to do." Wen Xijun rolled his eyes and went about his own business. Since it was Wang Xiu's business, what else could she say.

Wang Xiu shook his head helplessly. Wen Xijun didn't want to see the Jurchens, so he couldn't say anything, but he had to receive certain people, state affairs and certain schemes, and he couldn't be humane to outsiders.

Not long after, he saw Ta Lan coming over under the guidance of the servant, he immediately put on a relaxed expression, greeted him with a smile, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have lost my way, the Duke forgive me."

Seeing Wang Xiu welcome him, he also understands that Wang Xiu has a very high status and ranks above the Prince. Being able to be polite to Wang Xiu, he hastily saluted and said: "How dare you let the gentleman welcome you from afar."

"Please, Duke." Wang Xiu smiled like a wolf grandmother.
