The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 349 The Hesitant Choice
News of the arrest of Zhou Qing, Gu Yu and others quickly spread to the White House.

After hearing this, Bai Guan frowned: "Damn it, it's really abominable, waste, it's all waste."

As he said that, he threw the wine glass on the table out again.

Heidu also found it incredible, they planned this matter very carefully, how could it be possible for Liu Wei to see the flaw?

"Brother Bai, now is not the time to be angry, we should think about what to do, what if Gu Yu confesses us?"

Bai Guan nodded: "Brother Hei is right, but I don't think Gu Yu dares to confess us, unless he wants to kill himself." At this point, Bai Guan showed a sneer. Those people have already thought of ways to deal with them. For example, Gu Yu, Gu Yu has many concubines, and these concubines have also given him many sons, and these sons are all under their control. If Yu Dan said anything about them, there would be a bloody massacre in Chang'an City.

Heidu was not very confident about Baiguan's self-confidence, so he said quickly: "No matter what, we must be prepared. We have already investigated the matter about Zhao Jingniang. We found that she lives in Renji. Medical hall."

"Live in the Renji Medical Center?"

"Yes."

Bai Guan smiled slightly: "Does she go out often?"

Heidu shook his head: "She never goes out, but she has a daughter named Zhao Ling'er, who now follows Liu Wei."

"What, follow Liu Wei, does Liu Wei already know where Zhao Jingniang is?"

Bai Guan was a little surprised, if Liu Wei already knew where Zhao Jingniang was, then they couldn't easily catch Zhao Jingniang, otherwise they would fall into a trap.

"No, we found that Liu Wei didn't know that Zhao Ling'er was Zhao Jingniang's daughter, so Liu Wei didn't know about Zhao Jingniang's existence, but Zhao Jingniang never came out. If we rushed into the Renji Medical Center, even if we could catch him, we wouldn't be able to catch him. I can't go away."

Bai Guan thought for a while and said: "It's okay, doesn't she have a daughter? If he doesn't leave the hospital, her daughter will always go around. Find a way to kidnap her. As long as we kidnap her, the effect will be the same for us." Yes, don't forget, since she is Zhao Jingniang's daughter, that is, Zhao Kuangyin's daughter, what do you think Zhao Jingniang and Zhao Kuangyin will do for their own daughter?"

Bai Guan laughed again as he spoke. Although he knew that Zhao Kuangyin had many daughters, Zhao Jingniang's daughter was different to him. Would he take risks for his own daughter?
Heidu thinks that what Bai Guan said is right, in fact, the effect of catching Zhao Linger is basically the same as catching Zhao Jingniang, as long as they are caught, they will have the qualifications to bargain with Zhao Kuangyin, if Zhao Kuangyin wants to give up the rescue at that time, Then they can also create public opinion about how ungrateful Zhao Kuangyin is, and they can look for opportunities to assassinate Zhao Kuangyin.

After the two agreed in this way, Heidu immediately tried to find a way to kidnap Zhao Linger.
-
Liu Wei's trials have always been invincible.

No matter how tight the prisoners' mouths are, Liu Wei can pry them open to know what he wants to know, because few people can withstand Liu Wei's torture.

Liu Wei does not advocate the use of torture, but it is for the people who cannot judge who is good and who is bad, but for these people who already know that they have malicious intentions to subvert the court, torture cannot be overstated.

Under the pressure of torture, Gu Yu finally admitted that all this was his plan. He said that the reason why he wanted to do this was because he wanted to control the court as a commoner, so he did not hesitate to kill Duan Shi. .

Unfortunately, Gu Yu's admission did not satisfy Liu Wei, so Liu Wei looked for a breakthrough from Zhou Qing and others. In the end, Liu Wei learned that Zhou Qing and others only knew that Gu Yu trained them to overthrow Song Dynasty Dynasty, but they don't know the mastermind behind it.

However, they are also willing to subvert Da Song Wangzhan, because they all have an identity, and that is the children of Sichuan and Shu.

They are survivors of Houshu. When Zhao Kuangyin destroyed Houshu, he did not use the policy of Huairou, but brutal suppression, so they hated Zhao Kuangyin, and many of their relatives died in that war.

When Liu Wei learned of this, he finally fully understood the conspiracy.

These things were all done by the survivors of Hou Shu, and the reason why they did this was naturally for revenge.

And Liu Wei believes that behind this incident, that organization is stronger than he imagined, they have even been deployed for many years, and their influence in Chang'an City is very strong.

After receiving the news, Liu Wei came to the palace again and told Zhao Kuangyin about the situation he had interrogated.

Zhao Kuangyin was very angry after hearing this.

"These untouchables, since I destroyed Sichuan and Shu, I have treated them well. How could they think of destroying my Great Song Dynasty? These people must be killed. The cleaner the killing, the better."

Zhao Kuangyin is not a tyrant, but he absolutely does not allow anyone who wants to overthrow his Song Dynasty to exist.

Liu Wei could understand Zhao Kuangyin's thoughts, but he still showed a trace of doubt.

"My lord, in what name should I kill them?"

"What name? Didn't you investigate clearly?" Zhao Kuangyin was puzzled, but after he said this, he was shocked. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin has always treated literati preferentially, and even said that he would not kill scholar-bureaucrats. , Now that so many scholars are going to be killed, and these scholars have already gained a reputation in Chang'an City, even if these scholars are bewitching the country, they have not really entered the court after all.

If he really killed them, would he become the second Qin Shihuang?
Zhao Kuangyin never thought of burning books and robbing Confucian scholars, let alone being implicated in such eternal crimes.

Killing a few scholars is a trivial matter, but killing them will hurt the hearts of the entire Song Dynasty scholars.

But Zhao Kuangyin was really unwilling to kill these people. He suddenly felt that it was really difficult to be an emperor, and it was hard to die.

And just when Zhao Kuangyin thought this way, he cast his eyes on Liu Wei: "Liu Aiqing, what do you think should be done?"

"These people have made a lot of mistakes, and their hearts already hate Da Song to the bottom of their hearts. If they don't get rid of it, it will always be a disaster. What I mean is to kill them."

"Can kill them, this public opinion?"

"It doesn't matter, why don't we start with their murder of Duan Shi and Cuicui, and pay for their lives. No one can escape punishment, and if they are convicted of this crime, those people must have nothing to say, right?"

Liu Wei showed a slight smile as he spoke, because he had already learned about Cuicui's murder from these people, and even found the bones of her and the rich businessman.

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
-
More than a dozen scholars from Jinghe Academy were killed, King Jin was shocked when he found out about this.

He didn't expect that these scholars would want to gain fame and subvert the Song Dynasty. He admired Liu Wei's ability. If it wasn't for Liu Wei, then the whole Song Dynasty would not be peaceful, right?
Their admission of Jinshi in the Song Dynasty is based on merit, but they are not people who want to be talented and have no contribution to their Song Dynasty, or even want to overthrow their Song Dynasty.

Prevent the passing of time.

The king of Jin felt that what Liu Wei did was to guard against the passing of time. No matter what, Liu Wei's actions avoided a crisis in the Song Dynasty.

Although King Jin is not an emperor, he never underestimates a treacherous minister. Those dynasties and emperors throughout the ages, did they really die because of their own problems?

Too many traitors in the DPRK and China are also a big problem.

King Jin was very satisfied with Liu Wei's way of handling this matter.

But after he was satisfied, King Jin also felt an indescribable sense of crisis. Now Zhao Kuangyin is stranded in Chang'an City, and Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao is domineering in the capital. Failed, but as long as he supervises the country in the capital, he can also use his own advantages to accumulate strength for himself. More importantly, Cao Bin led the army to fight against the Southern Tang, and he has won every victory. If they go back When Cao Bin really destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, most of the credit would be assigned to Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao. At that time, if Zhao Kuangyin wanted to make Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao the prince, what would he do?
You must return to Beijing as soon as possible.

But at this time Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to go back to Beijing at all, he was really helpless.

After careful consideration, King Jin couldn't help but feel ruthless. If Zhao Kuangyin suddenly fell ill, would he return to Beijing?
This is the countermeasure he had discussed with King Su. If Zhao Kuangyin insisted on letting King Wu Zhao Dezhao inherit the throne, they would have no choice but to force the palace, poison Zhao Kuangyin to death, and then use the alliance of the Golden Chamber as an excuse to allow King Jin to ascend the throne smoothly. .

King Jin controls many forbidden troops. If he ascends the throne, who would dare to disobey him?

In fact, after all, the king of Jin understood one truth very well, that is, if he wanted to achieve great things, he must have strength and military power in his hands.

Just when King Jin was about to send someone to find a way to prescribe medicine to Zhao Kuangyin in order to return to the capital as soon as possible, Zhao Linger disappeared.

Although Zhao Linger followed Liu Wei, she would go back to the medical clinic every few days. Apart from giving Du Yi the "Compendium of Materia Medica" written by Liu Wei, Linger wanted to see her mother.

But that day after he left the government office, there was no news for two days in a row. Liu Wei sent someone to the medical clinic to inquire, but the result was that Zhao Ling'er did not return to the medical clinic at all.

Zhao Linger disappeared.

Zhao Jingniang was in a hurry, she just wanted to live a safe life with her daughter, but why was it so difficult?
After some thinking, Zhao Jingniang was going to find Liu Wei, she wanted to ask Liu Wei to find her daughter, but at this time, a letter was sent to the palace Zhao Kuangyin.
