Zhao Gou looked slightly calm, but he felt a little proud in his heart.

Being praised like this, the young man could not help but feel a little arrogant, but he didn't show it.

Seeing Zhao Gou's indifferent expression, Zhao Kai continued: "Brother Ninth, the court situation is in chaos now, and there are some things that are not convenient for me to say. I'm just here to pass on a message. Don't worry about it, even if it's not convenient for you to come forward.

, I believe that no one will feel resentful towards you."

Zhao Kai is also a scheming person and knows what it means to retreat in order to advance. He continued: "The reason why I want you to come forward is entirely because of the face of the old Zhao family. These days, I am worried that things will get worse.

In front of everyone in the world, we, the old Zhao family, have been completely disgraced."

"The official has his own helplessness. There are some things that he can't say out loud, and he doesn't want to. For example, about King Pu, the official probably knows a thing or two about it, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still swallows it, so someone needs to go there.

To help him share his worries, Brother Jiu, you are the most suitable person."

After hearing these words again, Zhao Gou was no longer as repelled as before.

This is what attacks the heart.

Zhao Gou said: "Third brother, I will go to the officials to talk about this matter. If I can do my best, I will not sit idly by."

Zhao Kai said: "Brother Jiu, I am ashamed of your profound righteousness. I have been reflecting on some things recently. If the Jin army goes south again and the prince needs to talk to him in person, I should be like you, Brother Jiu."

, stand up bravely.”

When Zhao Gou was said like this, he became even more erratic.

You finally know how cowardly you were in the past, and you finally know how brave I am.

There was a thorn in Zhao Gou's heart, which was planted when he was in Daming Mansion.

Zhao Gou was definitely a very brave man before, but since he opened the Marshal's Mansion in Daming Mansion, his behavior was contrary to the past, which caused strong conflicts in his heart.

After returning to Tokyo, he was eager for others to praise him for his bravery, in order to numb him and cover up his behavior in Daming Mansion.

Zhao Kai's remarks at this time undoubtedly hit his heart.

As for Zhao Kai's words, if Zhao Ning heard them, Zhao Ning would definitely not believe even one of his punctuation marks.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Kai stood up and said, "Brother Ninth, I won't bother you anymore. I'll visit you another day."

Zhao Gou sent Zhao Kai out.

Wang Boyan came out.

"Yanjun (Wang Boyan's name), the clan has been investigated recently and King Pu died. King Yun wants me to go to the official's house to speak to the clan. What do you think about this matter?"

Wang Boyan thought for a while and said, "What is the attitude of the official family towards the clan?"

"I don't know. King Pu is dead and hanged himself."

Wang Boyan said: "The clan is the bloodline of Taizong, and it is related to the majesty of the royal family. The officials will not rashly damage it. Regarding the matter of King Pu, I think there is something hidden, and the officials also have compelling difficulties. If His Highness can help with this matter at this time,

The official family can not only win the hearts of the clan, but also gain further trust from the official family."

"In this way, it will be of great benefit to His Highness to return to military affairs and replace Zongze."

Zhao Gou couldn't help but nodded.

Before dark, Gao Qiu went into the palace.

At this time, Zhao Ning was discussing the recent tax issue with Zhao Ding and Mei Zhili.

Lianghuai taxes and cash income have basically arrived.

Gao Qiu met Zhang Shuye in front of Wende Palace.

"Mr. Zhang, you also come to see the official."

Zhang Shuye glanced at Gao Qiu and greeted him lukewarmly: "Captain Gao."

Gao Qiu felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Zhang Shuye seemed reluctant to get close to him.

Not long after, Zhang Shuye and Gao Qiu went in.

Zhang Shuye said: "Officials, there is news from the front that Zhang Bangchang has proclaimed himself Emperor Jianyuan in Longde Mansion."

As soon as he said these words, Zhao Ding and Mei Zhili were shocked, and even Gao Qiu next to them was shocked.

Good guy, that guy Zhang Bangchang is crazy. How dare you play like this?

Who is Zhang Bangchang?

The prime minister during the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, and also in the prime ministership during the early Song Qinzong period. He was a party member of the powerful minister Wang Fu and a standard peacemaker.

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan succeeded to the throne, and with the support of Li Gang, he began to eliminate Zhao Ji's party members, the so-called "six thieves" of the Northern Song Dynasty, including Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu and others.

Zhang Bangchang was attached to Wang Fu, so he was naturally the target of the investigation.

But Zhao Huan did not kill him directly, but asked him to negotiate peace with the Jin people.

After Zhang Bangchang left, he was detained and never came back.

Historically, when the city of Tokyo was destroyed, Wanyan Zonghan retreated north and supported Zhang Bangchang in establishing the Puppet Chu in Tokyo City, which was scolded by everyone.

Zhang Bangchang himself was aware of this. After the Jin people withdrew to the north, he returned power to Zhao Gou.

But now, Wanyan Zonghan retreated north, supported Zhang Bangchang in Longde Mansion, and established the Puppet Chu.

This kind of thing for a minister to call himself emperor was definitely the biggest arrogance in ancient times.

But instead of being angry that Zhang Bangchang proclaimed himself emperor, everyone was shocked by this incident.

Why?

Because Zhao Guanjia mentioned in his article "On the Early Stage of the War between Song and Jin" that the Jin people would support a pseudo-dynasty to buffer the chaotic zone.

If it is just a prediction, everyone just thinks that Zhao Guan's family is lucky.

However, since the Jin people besieged the city at the end of last year, and now, the Jin army's decisions at every critical moment have confirmed Zhao Guan's prediction.

This is shocking.

After regaining consciousness, Zhao Ding said angrily: "Zhang Bangchang's rebellious ministers and traitors are too courageous!"

Zhang Shuye said: "The officials and Commander-in-Chief Zong have already raised troops to attack."

Zhao Ning thought to himself that Zhang Bangchang was naturally helpless, but now that the matter had come to this, he would undoubtedly die.

Zhao Ning said: "If you tell me, you will be captured alive."

"Are the officials going to spare those rebellious officials and traitors?"

"First bring it up to the capital for interrogation."

Zhang Shuye said: "Yes, I will go and deliver the message right now."

Zhang Shuye turned around and went out.

Seeing Gao Qiu coming, Zhao Ding and Mei Zhili said: "The officials and ministers will leave first."

"Okay, you two should go back and rest early, and we'll discuss it tomorrow."

After Zhao Ding and Mei Zhili left, Gao Qiu said: "Guan family, Prince Yun has gone to Prince Kang's mansion."

"Oh, what are you going to do?"

"While discussing the cause of King Pu's death, he also said that the officials wanted to investigate the clan. King Yun hoped that King Kang would come forward to persuade him to stop."

Gao Qiu reported truthfully, he had already noticed in his heart that the bastard King Yun was going to kill him.

"Prince Yun has a guilty conscience." Gao Qiu immediately started to strike in front of Zhao Ning, "Guan Guan, do you want to check on Prince Yun?"

Zhao Ning glanced at Gao Qiu coldly and said nothing. That look scared Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu quickly retracted his head and stopped talking.

Gao Qiu immediately knew that he had said something wrong. After all, King Yun was a nobleman of Tianhuang and the brother of the official family. What he just said was indeed a bit arrogant. No matter how much the official family wanted to investigate, they would not allow a minister to do this in front of him.

He boldly said that he wanted to check the prince.

Zhao Ning naturally knew Gao Qiu's little thoughts. He killed King Pu and the clan now hated him. Of course he wanted to kill King Yun.

Zhao Ning asked: "How does King Kang express his position?"

Gao Qiu said: "A man named Wang Boyan was in Prince Kang's mansion. Wang Boyan suggested that Prince Kang step forward so that he could gain fame in the clan."

After a pause, Gao Qiu continued: "King Kang was dissatisfied with the official appointment of Zongze, and he wanted to replace him."

Zhao Ning looked at Gao Qiu with a smile and said, "I understand, you can go down."

Gao Qiu didn't dare to ask more questions, and he didn't know what Zhao Guan's family was thinking.

From his point of view, he naturally hopes that the Zhao Guan family will take over the clan.
