Chapter 822: Destroy the boat

The huge firecrackers kept clattering, and the East Palace was a little uneasy. At first, they thought it was someone's marriage or a wedding, but they were shocked by the noise. However, the noise had no signs that Zhao Heng, who was sitting in the hall and chatting with Li Bangyan, frowned.

As the prince of the state, no one came to know the situation outside. The three provinces and six ministries were indeed too much. However, Zhao Heng knew in his heart that Yang Zhen was now singing opposite him at all times. Since the peace talks were reversed, he has even lost his temper. Yang Zhen dealt with ordinary political affairs directly in the name of the chief assistant, and Zhao Huan could not make any mistakes. After all, when Zhao Ji was there, the provincial government did have the right to independently handle government affairs, and it was just to use the supervision of the Secretariat. However, when encountering major events, Yang Zhen did not look for him, but went directly to find the empress dowager, which made Zhao Huan a little unable to come to Taiwan. But he was in trouble. If he lost his temper because of this, what would the empress dowager think? What would the people in the world think?

He was worshipped by these court officials like Bodhisattvas, and Zhao Huan could not beat or scold him, and even laughed at him. Only then did he realize the sinisterness of these officials. Looking around, everyone is a human being, and it is difficult to deal with each.

When the matter reached this point, Zhao Huan had to choose to remain silent. Since they had taken the matter down, Zhao Huan simply watched it. Every few days of court discussions, he just went to respond to it. Anyway, even if he did not approve the court officials' memorials, most of them would find the Empress Dowager's side. The final result was that the Empress Dowager felt it was appropriate and he planned it. As the prince of the State, he became a laughing stock.

Although Zhao Huan hated him, Li Bangyan often persuaded him. Gradually, Zhao Huan laughed. Since they wanted to take care of things, let them take care of them. As Li Bangyan said, the more things you do, the more you make, the more mistakes you make. Let them let go today. One day, are you still afraid that you won’t make any mistakes? The best way is to endure temporarily.

Zhao Huan was used to being tolerant, but he became very free and easy, and acted like he was wandering around the southern mountains. He only played chess and had tea with guests every day, and sometimes asked the people to talk to each other, which seemed quite comfortable.

The endless sound of firecrackers made Zhao Huan's mood worse again. A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. He held the tea and took a sip of it, suppressing the anger in his heart. His eyes fell on Li Bangyan and said, "Li Sheren, what day is today? Why is it so lively?"

Li Bangyan leaned on the sandalwood carved chair and said calmly: "Today is not a good time, it is neither a festival nor a marriage. Is there something wrong with such a big deal?"

Zhao Huan smiled coldly and said, "So what if there is any change? Some people want to be deaf or blind."

Li Bangyan smiled and said, "Your Highness is so serious."

Zhao Huan also felt that he was looking for trouble because he was fine, so he picked up the tea to hide his anger for no reason. He took a sip of the tea and looked up and said, "Li Sheren, hasn't that person named Liu Wenjing sent back the news yet?"

A trace of worry flashed in Li Bangyan's eyes and said, "There is no news yet. Your Highness is relieved. When you arrive at the Jin camp, there must be many inconvenient places. Besides, the risk of sending letters is greater. Liu Wenjing is the most cautious, but most of the time, he dare not take action on others. The Jin people tried to keep it, so he was unable to escape, so he was reluctant to return."

Although Li Bangyan said this, he felt a little upset.

Zhao Huan relaxed and said, "That's fine, this is the one I worry about."

As he was speaking, an eunuch came in and said, "Your Highness, a record has been made by the disciples. It is said that the navy has reported a great victory. I will come to inform Your Highness."

"Great victory..."

The eyes of the two people in the hall flashed with horror. Zhao Huan almost stood up with the handle of the chair and said, "What a great victory?"

"It is said that the navy defeated Jinzhou, seized the Dading Prefecture, and annihilated 50,000 Jurchen cavalry..."

"Stop! Get out!" Zhao Huan roared, and the eunuch didn't dare to continue talking, and he rushed out in a hurry. Zhao Huan's eyes looked at Li Bangyan with suspicion.

Li Bangyan said aloofly: "How could it be a great victory? Is it a false victory and a false victory and provocation? How could it be..." Zhao Huan stared at him like this, which made Li Bangyan feel a little chilling. The news has been revealed. Are the Jurchens not prepared at all? Could it be...

Zhao Huan looked at Li Bangyan in a silence: "Li Sheren, I only ask you, where did this great victory come from?"

Li Bangyan calmed down and had to say, "We need to ask clearly about this matter first."

"It's clear enough. The navy's attack on Jinzhou is a established strategy. This strategy is clearly written in Shen Ao's memorial. The letter written by the king to the Jurchens is also clearly clear. Wanyan Agu beat a generation of heroes. Since he had received the news in advance, why was he not prepared at all? Allowing the navy to attack Jinzhou and then attack Dading Prefecture in a surprise. There is something strange about this, then Liu Wenjing..."

Li Bangyan said: "Liu Wenjing can definitely trust..."

Zhao Huan snorted coldly: "You can trust me, why is it good news? Li Sheren misled me." Zhao Huan's face turned pale and continued: "Is it because Liu Wenjing took my letter from me to vote for Shen Aogou thief?"

Li Bangyan felt sad, knowing that it would be useless to argue at this time. Zhao Huan said this and had already felt a grudge against him, so he had to say: "The most urgent task at the moment is to make up for the loss. If the letter falls into Shen Ao's hands and announces the reputation of the world, His Highness..."

Zhao Huan roared, "Qingyu... What kind of reputation? As a governor, I still have to conceal peace with the Jin people. This is my reputation. A dignified prince cannot speak for nothing, and a lower level cannot control all officials. What's the use of this reputation?" His face turned pale. He was not unclear about what Li Bangyan said. Once the world was announced, it would be only a matter of dethrone.

Zhao Huan said viciously: "There is only one way to do it now."

A trace of horror flashed in Li Bangyan's eyes and said, "Your Highness really wants to burn his boat?"

Zhao Huan's cheeks kept twitching, and a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "The left and right are dead. Now that the handle is in Shen Ao's hands, I will just fight. I have enough of it. As long as I climbed to the Great Treasure, Shen Ao will have ten or hundreds of such letters in his hands. How can I help me?"

Zhao Huan shouted: "Get lucky!"

After a while, an old eunuch tiptoed in and bowed his body and said, "Your Highness..."

Zhao Huan glanced at Li Bangyan, then his eyes fell on the old eunuch and said lightly: "Go and tell the warlock that the dosage of the majesty should be added to the medicine."

Kaifu said in horror: "Your Highness, the warlock said that if you want to do it without knowing it, you must slowly draw it. If you add the dose and are eager to achieve success, once things are leaked..."

Zhao Huan became irritated for no reason and said angrily: "Damn it, go back and tell him what I say, just tell him what to do. Then there will be his own benefits. Otherwise..." Zhao Huan showed a stern look. At this point, Zhao Huan was already anxious to jump over the wall. Instead of exposing this matter and making him the target of public criticism, it would be better to start first.

Kaifu didn't dare to speak back, so he had to persuade him timidly: "Your Highness thinks twice." As he said that, he looked at Li Bangyan again, but Li Bangyan had a calm expression on his face and ignored Kaifu.

"Get out!" Zhao Huan scolded and waved his hand impatiently.

Kaifu had no choice but to retreat.

Li Bangyan coughed and said, "It's understandable that your highness has done this. However, this matter is of great importance. Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much. Of course, the dosage can be increased a little, but this warlock has to be optimistic. When he has to be forced, he will use him as a scapegoat."

Zhao Huan said irritably: "I know, I can't run away from him." After that, she sat down again, and said with red eyes: "After talking, I shouldn't have written that letter. Let's just give it up. It's urgent to protect myself."

Another eunuch came in outside and said, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager invites you to the palace."

Zhao Huan was startled and said, "What did the Empress Dowager ask me to do?" He was guilty. When he heard the Empress Dowager, the emperor felt cold sweat.

"It seems to be for a great victory."

Zhao Huan then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Bangyan and said, "What do you think about Li Sheren?"

Li Bangyan said: "Military achievements are brilliant, and this unparalleled achievement is the county horse of Princess Qinghe. With the empress dowager's character of protecting her shortcomings, she probably asked the prince for rewards."

Zhao Huan said in disgust: "The old woman who eats inside and outside!"

Although this sentence was not clearly stated, it clearly showed that it was a scolding the empress dowager. Li Bangyan pretended not to hear it, but scared the eunuch from the East Palace and froze.

Zhao Huan realized that he had made a mistake and said, "I will enter the palace now. What the Empress Dowager wants? I will accept it."

Li Bangyan didn't say anything. Of course he knew in his heart that it was just a temporary solution at the moment. Since Zhao Huan had made plans to burn his boats, it was naturally not appropriate to cause trouble at this time. Besides, the Empress Dowager's words on his side may not be able to resist even if the prince wants to fight. Instead of doing so, it would be better to be generous.

Zhao Huan stood up and said to Li Bangyan: "Lishe is young, so I will come when I go." After that, he entered the back hall to change his clothes and dress, then took his group out, went to the East Palace to ride a carriage, and went straight to the palace.

Along the way, Zhao Huan was both angry and a little guilty. He didn't feel anything when he was so angry that he didn't think of anything. After thinking about his bold decision, he still felt very scared. But now, Zhao Huan knew in his heart that he could not turn back.
