The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 173: The tongue of death

In a dangerous environment, it's like playing chess with God. If you don't think carefully about it, you will lose your life directly and don't even have the chance to regret chess. At this time, Zhao Qi was involved in a conspiracy.

Zhong didn't know it, but what was going to destroy him was just a few tongues...

The spring of the seventh year of Xuanhe has arrived. Zhao Ji is nostalgic every day among the mountains and rivers of Gen Yue, writing a few words and paintings, and beauties are surrounded by his side. His life is very comfortable, and he is still intoxicated by regaining Yanyun.

In my dream, I didn’t know that the Song Dynasty was like a rotten persimmon at this time. It would hit the ground with a slight thrust by external force.

"Shimei, how did you do the matter of asking for Yunzhou with the Jin Dynasty?" After playing with Li Bangyan for a while, his body became hot. Zhao Ji returned to the pavilion and drank a few sips of tea, remembering the matter of Yunzhou and asked.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens have been reluctant to hand over to our court for the reason that the war in Yunzhou has not yet been concluded!" Li Bangyan picked up an apricot from the table and said. After resigning from office and being deceased as his father, he was disagreeing with Wang Fu and privately.

He colluded with Cai You and others, attacked Wang Fu and dismissed him, but he had nothing to do. He only flattered and took a position for free. People in Kaifeng, Tokyo regarded him as the "prodigal prime minister".

"The Jin people are too unfaithful and righteous, and they have given you all the food and grass as much as possible, but they still refuse in every way and ask Ma Kuo to step up the urge to ask!" Zhao Ji put down the teacup and said unhappily.

"Father, my son has an idea!" At this time, King Jia Zhao Kai suddenly interrupted.

"What's the solution for Sanlang? Tell me!" Zhao Ji asked with a look of his face.

"Father, I heard that my second brother and Jin Guoan Banboji Lie Wanyanxie had a close relationship. They privately called each other brothers, if I sent my second brother to the Jin Kingdom, this matter would definitely be accomplished!" Zhao

Kai said.

"There is also this matter, how did the second brother know him? Why don't I know?" Zhao Ji asked in a daze after hearing this. The second boy's letter had not mentioned this matter!

"Your Majesty. You forgot that Xie was defeated in Yunzhou and was chased by the Khitans and retreated into Hedong. Prince Yan took him with him with national affairs and took care of him in every way. He always responded to his requests. The two often had banquets together.

, Who can be ruthless without plants? It is said that when Prince Yan sent him to the Jurchens, the two of them separated and slapped their high fives to help each other in the future!" Liang Shicheng said with a sweat towel, gently wiped the sweat beads from the emperor's forehead.

.

"Oh, there is something like this!" Zhao Ji frowned and said, "Erlang is just a fun young man and doesn't understand the outer arts!"

"Yes, Prince Yan has been in the northwest for a long time and often deals with the foreign people and barbarians, so he will inevitably get infected with their habits. The old slave heard from the northwest that the princess of Xixia was rejected because of her marriage, so she was shameless.

It was so funny to find Prince Yan’s mansion to recognize his relatives!" Liang Shicheng said with a smile.

"Aha. The hero is sad to pass the beauty. Prince Yan is very lucky. There is a princess who comes to pay for it. It's interesting!" Li Bangyan claimed to be a beauties all over the world. He was both envious and jealous of Zhao Qi's romantic encounter.

"Haha. The emperor's sister-in-law is in the capital, and the second brother lives alone in the northwest. It will be difficult to live without a woman around her. The Xixia princess came to her door, and it was a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. I heard that Dangxiang women are gorgeous and coquettish, and the second brother must be happy.

It's so tight!" Zhao Kai also said with interest.

"The marriage with Xixia has not been agreed on, why is Erlang so unconscious..." Zhao Ji, who has always been most interested in such anecdotes, did not gossip with them this time, said thoughtfully, but did not find out

Liang Shicheng, Zhao Kai and Li Bangyan behind him looked at each other and smiled...

In fact, the reason why Liang Shicheng and others were both jealous and hated Zhao Qi, but they dared to speak out was not only that Zhao Qi received too much favor from the emperor, but that they felt that Zhao Qi had too much power in his hands.

It poses a threat to yourself.

As early as when Zhao Ji became the crown prince, Liang Shicheng and others had already formed an alliance with Zhao Kai and were always alert to Zhao Qi who had been in trouble. They thought that after expelling Zhao Qi from the capital, they would stay away from the emperor's protection.

It was difficult to do anything, but what surprised them was that Prince Yan not only defeated Xixia, but also forced them to sign the city alliance, bowed down and surrendered, and promoted the title, but also received increasing respect from the emperor.

Seeing Zhao Qi's success, how could Liang Shicheng and others sit still? Now he not only controls more than 100,000 troops, but also holds an invincible "private army" in his hand. That's not all.

They found that the transactions in the Yan Prince's Mansion were getting bigger and bigger, almost all over the states and counties across the country. Although they deliberately concealed them, those who were interested could always find that behind these big merchants there was the shadow of the Yan Prince's Mansion, and the wealth they accumulated was enough to match.

When I went to the Song Dynasty for one year, everyone understood what I could do with soldiers and money.

The most terrifying thing now is not just his control over the army. Now, in addition to completely controlling the Hedong army, Zhao Qiong of Hedong even obeyed him and everyone followed his lead. The people he sent to that year were all squeezed out of Hedong.

, and now he has contacted Xixia and Jin Kingdom again, how dare they look down on it?

Although Liang Shicheng was cunning and digging the emperor's corner, he still knew who his master was and understood that he was a monkey on the top of the tree on the emperor's big tree, so he was still loyal to the emperor, both in public and private

We should warn the emperor to suppress the expansion of Prince Yan's power, and of course it is best to eradicate it as soon as possible.

Of course, Liang Shicheng is a cautious and cunning person who will not find discomfort when Prince Yan Shengen Zhenglong, nor will he easily expose his intentions. But that doesn't mean that he does nothing, he can use himself

Influence to incite the people below to do it. But what puzzled Liang Shicheng and others was that the emperor seemed to be distracted by this. No matter how Prince Yan was trying to do it in the northwest, he would not interfere. He just agreed to put a few seniors in the loyal and brave army

The general was transferred away, but he didn't know what the emperor was going to do?

Now Prince Yan is becoming more and more outrageous. Not only is he "colluded" with the Dangxiang people, but he is also involved in the Jurchens. This is not enough and has a relationship with the Yisheng Army. Faced with Zhao Qiong, who is increasingly inflating his power, Liang Shicheng sits in the face of the increasingly powerful Zhao Qiong,

Can't hold on. If he allowed it to develop, one day the emperor would not be able to pass the throne to him. So he found Zhao Kai, who was also uneasy, and even found a way to bring the crown prince Zhao Huan.

Liang Shicheng knew that the prince had always tried his best to defend his younger brother, and also knew what he had made. He wanted to cultivate his own team, use Prince Yan's power to fight against those who threaten his position, and pave the way for him to ascend the throne one day.

, it is not easy to let him destroy the Great Wall. He also knows that his relationship with the prince is in a state of great power and has no way to communicate directly, but he has his own way to pull him into the water, and this intermediary

It is Geng Nanzhong, the secretary of the Crown Prince's Mansion.

Geng Nanzhong can be said to have fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher to the prince. He has been standing by Zhao Huan at the most difficult moment, dealing with him, and even surrendering himself to Li Bangyan to fight against Wang Fu's squeezing of the prince.

He would pounce on anyone who threatened the prince without hesitation. With such a loyal and loyal person to protect the Lord, Liang Shicheng only needs to disclose Prince Yan’s actions to Geng Nanzhong through various channels to achieve his own.

The purpose is.

This purpose was easily achieved. Just after Zhao Qi entered Daizhou to review and intervened in the Yisheng Army, Geng Nanzhong found an opportunity to enter the memorial alone and solemnly reported to the emperor: "Prince Yan is

A simple and impetuous person, who is too powerful and favored, can easily cause treason. Now he controls Hedong, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the river, and interferes in the affairs of the righteous army. If he does not control it, he will cause disaster!"

Liang Shicheng, who had been living in the palace for half his life, was not surprised by the prince's counterattack. The ancients often said that they were born with the same roots, so why not fight each other too quickly. But the facts in the palace are often: they are born with the same roots.

Only when they fight each other will they be anxious. And his confidence in provoking wars between several brothers is actually very simple, it is a comparative heart.

Whether it is Liang Shicheng's jealousy of Tong Guan or Zhao Kai's contempt for Zhao Qi, he may be comparing and respecting him. Zhao Kai thinks that Zhao Qi is more than himself, and maybe Zhao Huan will also think that Zhao Qi is

The most holy heart is that they express their injustice and anger by shattering each other. It is a matter of stirring up the resurgence of the court and the various conflicts between them. To put it bluntly, but this is actually because of the same origin, so they have a strong desire to overwhelm the other party.

One end.

The same origin provides the strongest comparability, and the similar competing heart makes both parties wear an equally unreliable tinted glasses. These tinted glasses strengthen the same distorted sense of competition, so beggars will not be jealous of the rich.

, only jealous of other beggars. After all, people are sometimes unhappy not because of their own failure, but because of others' success...

In fact, Zhao Ji was not unaware of the development of Zhao Qi's power, and some of it was even realized under his indulgence. The reason why Zhao Ji chose Zhao Qi to come out to know Hedong was because he felt that he was indebted to him.

It is because he feels that Zhao Qi is growing up in the countryside and is not infected with the habits of the officialdom. He is still young, has a simple background, and has a humble status in his mother's family. If he does not form a clique with the court ministers, it will not have any impact on the government;

Even if it is his own son, he is still "young", and he is not enough to pose a threat to his throne.

Today, Zhao Qiong is no longer the little prince who is difficult to ascend to the elegance of the people, but a hot heavyweight figure in the imperial political arena. He controls the two border officials and forms a small one with him as the core in the northwest.

Although the group did not collude with ministers in the court, it maintained good relations with foreigners and established different forms of interest relations with them through various channels.

After hearing a few people chewing in their ears, Zhao Ji suddenly realized that his son might have posed a threat to him... (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read it.)
