Zhao Yun looked serious and thought about countermeasures.
Xia Guidao: "Your Majesty, is the assassination really related to Zheng Qingzhi?"
At this time, Xia Gui also became suspicious of Zheng Qingzhi.
Zheng Qingzhi knew that he was being targeted and Wang Zhenchun disappeared again. With his intelligence, he should have guessed that he was most likely involved in such a major event as assassinating the king.
If he is innocent, then he should reduce his activities as much as possible at this time and let others investigate until the suspicion is cleared.
And if he moves around, it will undoubtedly complicate him and add variables to clear the suspicion, which is irrational.
Especially now that he went to see Shi Miyuan immediately, it was puzzling. One was a lecturer at the banquet, and the other was the most powerful official in the dynasty. Looking at them now, it seemed that their relationship was too close.
Zhao Yun walked around for a few times, then suddenly stopped and said, "There must be an ulterior secret between Shi Miyuan and Zheng Qingzhi. Otherwise, who would dare to wade into such troubled waters for a serious crime of assassination?"
After saying that, Zhao Yun took two steps, grabbed Xia Gui's hand, and said: "Xia Gui, I ask you, if Shi Miyuan is really the murderer behind the scenes, he wants to kill me, and you can't do it secretly.
Do you dare to eliminate traitors for the country?"
Xia Gui's head went blank with a buzzing sound, "This,,,this,,, Your Majesty, Xianggong Shi is already a very human minister, with honor and glory. There is no more glorious minister than him, how can he still have evil intentions?"
?”
"snort."
Zhao Yun snorted coldly, "Why not? Above the common people there are county magistrates, above the county magistrates there are governors, above the governors there are feudal lords, above the feudal lords there are ministries, above the ministries there are chief ministers, and ministers
Above the stubbornness, there is the prince, and above the prince, there is the emperor. He cannot control his selfish desires, and even after becoming the emperor, he still wants to live forever and become a god."
Xia Gui was stunned for a while, and finally knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, I am a minister of the Song Dynasty and your Majesty's eagle dog. No matter who you are, I only recognize you, Your Majesty. Anyone who dares to assassinate the king will be killed."
Punish him."
"What if there is your uncle Xia Zhen in the opponent's camp?" Zhao Yun asked immediately.
Xia Gui hesitated for a moment, and finally his eyes suddenly focused and he said firmly: "For such treason, I will kill even my father."
Zhao Yun was excited, helped Xia Gui up, patted his shoulder, and said: "Xia Gui, you are a person I can rely on. I am very happy to meet you. From now on, my safety depends on you."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. From now on, Xia Gui will guard the Funing Palace day and night, and Xiaojue will not dare to act recklessly."
Zhao Yun nodded happily. At this moment, Zhao Yun felt that he and Xia Gui had really formed a united front.
Zhao Yun has no doubt that once he is in danger, Xia Gui will definitely risk his life and protect himself.
Zhao Yun took off the jade medal pendant from his waist and gave it to Xia Gui. Zhao Yun said: "Xia Gui, this jade medal has no other meaning. It is my appreciation for you and my like-minded will. With the jade medal here, you and I will be our kings and ministers."
It’s like working together.”
Xia Gui was moved, bent down and took off the short blade hidden in his boots, and said: "Your Majesty, please accept it. I will have such a knife to protect Your Majesty for the rest of his life."
"good."
Zhao Yun was very happy and took over Xia Gui's short blade, his confidence doubled.
After Xia Gui left, Zhao Yun, who was highly nervous, suddenly felt very tired. When he thought that Zheng Qingzhi might have conspired with Shi Miyuan and that a new wave was coming, Zhao Yun felt an inexplicable hesitation.
