The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 331 Chaos in the Capital City

The capital is in chaos.

Just when King Wu Zhao Dezhao thought he could solve the Cao Gang quickly, the Cao Gang suddenly announced its disbandment. Those people who had been carrying goods for others suddenly lost their source of income. Suddenly the boat was nowhere to be found.

Things happened so quickly that King Wu Zhao Dezhao had no time to react.

Originally, according to what King Wu Zhao Dezhao meant, their court controlled the transportation of the Bianhe River, but this required a process, at least a process for the people to adapt slowly, but the Cao Gang suddenly announced its dissolution, which disrupted his plan.

Now those common people are making trouble every day, and those businessmen are making trouble with the government every day. Although King Wu Zhao Dezhao has not seen it in person, he knows that things are getting serious.

10,000+ people, how big is that?
And when these 10,000+ people make a fuss, some people will inevitably take advantage of the fire to loot. Is there still a little bit of prosperity in the entire capital?
Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao knew that he was in trouble, and at this moment, the two prime ministers, Shen Yilun and Xue Juzheng, had rushed to look for Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao after the secret order from the Street Saint.

After seeing the two prime ministers, King Wu Zhao Dezhao suddenly saw hope, and he quickly asked: "What do you two adults think about the matter of the Cao Gang?"

Although I can't understand the attitude of Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao, and I don't want to help him, but when I think of Zhao Kuangyin's secret order, the two of them feel chills in their backs. After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, they finally took the position of prime minister. Can you be demoted as a commoner because of this?

"Returning to the prince, the Cao Gang's move is purely to persecute our court. I feel that we can negotiate with people from the Cao Gang, and the worst is to restore the previous system. In this way, the Cao Gang should not want to talk to our court in order to make money. fall out."

"This..." Martial King Zhao Dezhao was a little hesitant. He originally wanted to get rid of the Cao Gang. If nothing changed in the end, wouldn't he have done all this for nothing?
He can bear it for nothing, but he can't accept the possible impact of this matter on him. If the matter is left as it is, how will all the officials think of him, how will the people think of him, and what will the father and emperor think of him? What do you think of him?

He would be thought to have accomplished nothing.

He doesn't want to be seen like this, because he wants to be a prince and an emperor.

So at this time, he cast his eyes on Shen Yilun: "Master Shen, what do you think?"

"It is indeed inappropriate to destroy the Cao Gang, but now the Cao Gang is blackmailing the court, but it does not take our court seriously. If they can do this, then how can my Great Song rule the world? Micro The meaning of the minister is very simple, we must teach them."

Shen Yilun has always been peaceful, but at this time his words were full of domineering tone, and these words of his just spoke to the heart of King Wu Zhao Dezhao.

That's right, the folk forces think that they can persecute the imperial court, so what do they think of the imperial court?

"What Master Shen said is very true. From Master Shen's point of view, what should we do now?"

"Invest in the water transportation business as soon as possible, let those coolies have jobs, and let the goods of those merchants be transported. In this way, the matter will naturally subside."

King Wu Zhao Dezhao smiled wryly: "Sir Shen's solution is naturally good, but the imperial court can't get so many ships for a while. The people of the Cao Gang have boats in their hands now, but our imperial court can't snatch them. You said What should I do?"

Large ships are needed to transport goods, but there are not many large ships in the imperial court, and most of these large ships are only suitable for carrying people, and it is somewhat inappropriate for carrying goods.

Faced with this problem of King Wu Zhao Dezhao, Shen Yilun couldn't give a good suggestion, because even if the construction was stepped up, it would take a few months to invest in it, and if they bought it from the Cao Gang, it would be strange if they were willing to sell it.

Just when King Wu Zhao Dezhao was worried about this matter, Xia He visited the academy again.

King Wu Zhao Dezhao is her hope. She thought that King Wu could achieve something this time, but what she didn't expect was that the Cao Gang would be so ruthless, but she didn't expect this. In this regard, Qiushuang is not as good as Qiushuang.

Therefore, she decided to be cheeky and ask Qiushuang for help. She believed that even if Qiushuang refused to join Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao, she would not refuse such a favor, right?
The flowers in the Xuefu Academy are in full bloom, and birds are singing and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere. Many years ago, the four sisters spent a long time here. During that time, it was not happy, but it was hard work. Although Murong Bo was strict with them, It is harsh, but it also gives them the happiness they deserve.

Now walking among the blooming flowers in the academy, the past suddenly flooded up like a flood.

A jug of wine among the flowers.

There was a jug of wine on a small table, a jug of good wine, Chunfeng poured everyone a glass, and then showed a slight smile: "We sisters haven't chatted together for a long time, today's The timing is just right, the spring is warm and the flowers are fragrant, isn't it?"

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, at least the other three didn't smile like Chunfeng did.

"Sister Xia He didn't come to chat with us, taste wine and enjoy flowers." Dong Yu drank a glass of wine lightly, looked at Xia He, Xia He smiled bitterly, Dong Yu has always been very cold, at least it was so many years ago The feeling of this has been running through his mind, but for some reason, since Dongyu went to Lingnan, her whole person has changed. Although she is in a daze occasionally, she will suddenly smile when she is in a daze, and sometimes she seems to think of it. What a funny thing, will suddenly laugh unscrupulously.

But Xia He didn't pay attention to Dong Yu, but turned his attention to Qiu Shuang.

"You know the current situation in the capital, right?"

Qiushuang's face was calm, without showing a hint of liking or dislike, she nodded: "The Cao Gang's move is very unique, almost driving the imperial court to a dead end, and the imperial court seems to have only two options."

"Oh, I would like to hear about it."

"One is to surrender to the Cao Gang and admit their existence, and the other is to use iron and blood methods to directly send troops to destroy the Cao Gang and confiscate all the Cao Gang's belongings. But I don't think Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao has such courage."

When talking about this, Qiu Shuang suddenly froze for a moment, she was thinking, if Liu Wei was in the capital, what would he do if he encountered such a thing, would he lead troops to destroy the Cao Gang?
She knew that although Liu Wei was peaceful, sometimes he was ruthless and scary. She felt that Liu Wei could definitely kill those people from the Cao Gang.

Xia He shook his head: "The imperial court will not choose these two options, so I am here to beg you, I hope you can give the imperial court a trick."

"Just for the court?"

"Also to King Wu Zhao Dezhao."

Xia He didn't want to hide it. It would be no good for Qiushuang to hide too much here. Qiushuang shrugged and said: "There is no way, but it's a little sinister, and it's not what the court wants."

"It's okay, Qiushuang, just say it."

Qiu Shuang nodded: "Kill!"

"kill?"

"That's right, it's murder!"
-
The capital is in chaos, and all of this was caused by King Wu Zhao Dezhao.

Cao Jin, the leader of the Cao Gang, hated Zhao Dezhao very much, so he wanted to force Zhao Dezhao to agree to the legitimacy of their Cao Gang.

But at this time, he died.

The death was not strange at all, he died in his bedroom. When his master Hong Fatty went to find him the next day, he found that the door was unlocked. There was a sword mark on the neck of the dead body.

The news of Cao Jin's murder spread quickly, and everyone in the Cao Gang was terrified. They thought it was done by the court, but there was no evidence, so what could they do?
They still dare not report this matter to Kaifeng Mansion, because if they report it to Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion will thoroughly investigate the matter, but Cao Jin is not a clean person, how could he be clean as the leader of the Cao Gang?
The Cao Gang has no leader. Although they know that the court did it, they dare not trouble the court, because they are not like ordinary people. If they trouble the court, the court can arrest them for ignoring the court. Just hundreds of thousands of people, after the court arrests them, it is very likely that everything they have will be confiscated.

Fatty Hong was a little anxious, he wanted to go to Chang'an again.

But when he was about to go to Chang'an, before he knew it, a sharp arrow pierced his throat.

The red plate died, and the entire Cao Gang was surrounded by a terrifying atmosphere.

The people in the Cao Gang have nothing to do with the Dark Ones organization, only Cao Jin and Fatty Hong have connections with the Dark Ones organization, and most of them just joined the Cao Gang to help them do things.

Now that the Cao Gang is like this, they still dare to stay there, but they are not willing to leave like this, so they are going to sell the Cao Gang boats, and it is very cheap to sell, they just like to get enough money, and then go to have a good time Today, a poem can be bought with hundreds of verses and thousands of verses.

For such a thing, Baiguan, who is far away in Chang'an City, can do nothing even if he knows about it. Not many people in the Cao Gang know of his existence. After the death of Cao Jin and Fatty Hong, his control over the Cao Gang also collapsed.

Those Cao gang members sold their ships for fear of being killed, and he had nothing to do.

He just felt angry. When he founded the Cao Gang, he spent a lot of hard work and money. Now the Cao Gang suddenly said that it would be gone, but he didn't get anything. He was very angry.

And when he was angry, he felt incredible, how did the court manage to assassinate him?

This kind of situation does not conform to the image of the imperial court at all, there must be someone obstructing it, but who is this person, who can hit him seven inches at once?

Bai Guan was very sorry for the destruction of the Cao Gang, but he did not hold on to the affairs of the capital. If he could assassinate Zhao Kuangyin in Chang'an City, so what if the Cao Gang was gone?
