The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 233

"Never betray, can you do it?" Zhao Gou said again.

"Is this the promise you said?" Zhao Yougong didn't agree directly, instead he answered irrelevant questions and looked at Zhao Gou in astonishment, as if he was in a dream, everything was not so real.

Zhao Gou said solemnly: "What I want is this promise, answer me!"

Zhao Yougong didn't know what Zhao Gou was up to, so he nodded dumbfounded and agreed, "I promise, I will never betray the Song Dynasty, I will never betray the emperor, as long as I am alive, I will be loyal to the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Gou stared at Zhao Yougong silently, and said solemnly, "I believe in you!"

"Aren't you afraid that I will rebel against Song Dynasty again?" Zhao Yougong said in surprise, he didn't understand why Zhao Gou believed so much that he would really fulfill the promise he made, which made him very curious.

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "I believe you won't, let him go through the previous things like this! After that, there is no need to mention it again; if you are the son of Uncle Shisan, you will definitely be loyal to Song Dynasty like him, and never I will rebel against Da Song again, I believe in you!"

Zhao Yougong was shocked, at that moment his heart tightened, he looked at Zhao Gou in a daze, trying to see the hypocrisy in his words, and saw sincerity from his face.At this moment, Zhao Yougong was attracted by Zhao Gou's mind, and he knew that after he made a promise, he would never betray Da Song again.

In addition, Zhao Yougong knew clearly that Zhao seemed to be alive, and what he did before was indeed what he did, and it was justifiable, but he couldn't pass that test in his heart.Zhao Gou's promise to him is also to tell Zhao Yougong that the things he committed are past tense and there is no need to mention them again.

Zhao Yougong once again admired Song Huizong, gained a better understanding of him, and admired Zhao Gou.From this moment on, Zhao Yougong knew that he would swear allegiance to the Song Dynasty to the death, and he would do his best; at the same time, Zhao Yougong's heart gradually moved closer to that of Zhao Gou.

He looked at Zhao Gou, who was much younger than himself, and really didn't know how he learned his martial arts and resourcefulness. He also heard rumors about Zhao Gou, and what he saw with his own eyes coincided with what he had heard, and he really realized what is profound and profound. Test, that feeling will never be forgotten.

"Since you have made a promise, I won't hide it from you anymore!" Zhao Gou smiled, with a heartfelt smile on his face, and said, "Do you know why Uncle Wang has been 'fake death' for many years, knowing that you are alive? But dare not recognize you, has been lurking in the dark?"

When Zhao Yougong heard that Zhao Gou mentioned about his father, he listened attentively and listened carefully to everything about his father. He didn't understand why Zhao Si didn't recognize him, and what happened back then.Although he asked about his father, he didn't get any response.

Zhao Gou went on to say: "Thirteenth Uncle has done everything for the Song Dynasty in these years. Outsiders don't know, and I only found out the truth tonight. At that time, Thirteenth Uncle's "fake death" was just a change from the open to the dark. , Things that can’t be done in the open, but can be done in secret, and you also have a huge organization in your hands. You have already seen the personnel of this organization. Needless to say, their combat effectiveness, the most important thing is to lurk and inquire about news. Know things, only if they are willing to know!"

Zhao Yougong stared at Zhao Gou dumbfounded. He recalled that he had led a group of dead men to be blocked by the Ouchi guards, and their martial arts were not like the imperial guards, but more like the Jianghu, and suddenly realized.Zhao Yougong listened more seriously, and saw Zhao Gou continue to say: "The mission of that organization is what the past emperors have pursued all their lives. With your resourcefulness and identity, you should know what it is!"

"Sixteen states of Yanyun!" Zhao Yougong frowned and answered without hesitation.

"That's right, that's exactly it!" Zhao Gou nodded appreciatively, and said, "I've already asked Father to revoke your punishment, the only requirement is that you assist me; in addition, there is another matter that requires you, That is the matter of signing a covenant with the Kingdom of Jin next year."

"I'm here to help you?" Zhao Yougong was shocked, and looked at Zhao Gou in disbelief, as if Zhao Gou was joking again, he never thought it would be such a result.

In his opinion, his capital crime can be avoided and he cannot escape the crime of living. Either he will be demoted to a commoner, or he will be exiled to the frontier. These are considered light punishments.Now, Zhao Gou actually told him that the emperor exempted him from all punishments, all he needed was for him to agree to assist Zhao Gou, to join that organization, to become a member of it, and to participate in the signing of the covenant with Jin Guo next year.

The purpose of making an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin is to eliminate the Liao Kingdom and recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, how could Zhao Yougong not know this.In addition, he also knew who the officials who negotiated with the Jin Guo Mission were, but he never expected such a result, which was beyond his expectation.

"For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty and the fulfillment of the last wish of our ancestors, as a descendant of the Zhao family, I have the duty to do so; I have promised my father to succeed the organization as the leader, and I am in the middle of the court, busy with affairs, and can't concentrate on two things. When I deal with important matters, I also assist from the side."

"Why did you choose me?" Zhao Yougong didn't agree immediately, but looked directly at Zhao Gou and asked such a sentence, he wanted to hear what Zhao Gou was thinking.

Sure enough, Zhao Gou expected that he would ask this question, and without any coyness, he said straight to the point: "Because you are suitable, first of all, your identity is the son of Uncle Thirteen, and Uncle Wang is the leader of that organization. I will take over, and there are some things I can't do at my own pace, so only Uncle Wang will continue to take over temporarily."

"As a son of man, you who are filial to Uncle Wang will definitely not let your father spare no effort. Uncle Wang is already tired and can't bear the torment anymore, and you are his son, and the only one who can't let go is you. You His martial arts and resourcefulness are also one of them, what is really important is that you will never betray, I believe you will not let Uncle Wang worry about you, and you will not let the emperor's painstaking efforts be disappointed, and you will not forget your ancestors!"

"Although what you did was wrong, I can see that you are a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and is also a filial person. I don't want Uncle Wang to ruin his whole life. The most important thing is that my principle of employing people is' Employers are not suspicious, suspects are not used'!"

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't be suspicious of people!" Zhao Gou said confidently, and his analysis was logical. Zhao Yougong had to say that Zhao Gou had said that he had a weakness in his heart, so he had to agree. The most important thing was the last sentence. Expressing Zhao Gou's trust in him, this is the first time he has heard of it.

So, Zhao Yougong felt as if he was overwhelmed and unable to calm down, with a long-lost smile on his face, he said in a serious voice: "I promise, everything will be arranged by you, and I will do my best to serve Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Gou nodded in satisfaction, looked at Zhao Yougong's pale face, smiled and said: "In this case, then we agree. However, this matter is only known to us, and there is no need to declare some things to the outside, so as not to spoil the big event; In addition, this matter will not be carried out until you recover from your injuries!"

At the beginning, the whispering between Zhao Gou and Song Huizong was this request, and he was confident in persuading Zhao Yougong to agree to his request, which would be the best result.Since then, Zhao Yougong, king of Chu, has disappeared from the eyes of everyone, but he is lurking in the dark and paying close attention to everything in the Song Dynasty. This is what Zhao Gou expects to see, and he believes that Zhao Yougong's loyalty to the court is enough.

　Happy New Year's Day to all brothers! !
