Chapter 665: There is a kind of bad guy called Yushi
No matter how much Xu Zizhen didn't take the emperor seriously, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He quickly stepped forward and knelt down, shouting long live the mountain.
Zhao Huan took two steps and came over to help him up. He said with an angry look on his face: "There are no outsiders here, why do you need so many courtesy? Quickly get back on your feet."
"Thank you, official!" Xu Zizhen still tried to save his face, then stood up and pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "Guanjia, why are you so anxious to summon me to the capital?"
Zhao Huan sighed, first dismissed the accompanying eunuchs, and then asked Zhao Zhen to close the door, and then said: "What happened to the rescue of the Tubo Princess the day before yesterday? Please tell me more carefully, dear brother."
It is probably a rare thing in history that the emperor used the word "trouble" when talking to others. Xu Zizhen was not very proud, only contempt. This kid obviously knew everything, but he still came to ask himself. Asking gods to ask for divination and going around so many detours is troublesome.
!However, he still recounted what happened that night in detail, except that he hid his secret camp, and basically left everything else as it was.
Zhao Huan had a look of solemnity and anger on his face, he slapped the table hatefully and said: "Liang Shicheng, this old thief, I used to take care of my father and let him live longer, but now he is getting worse and worse.
You don’t know how to restrain your anger, and you even dare to do such things, why don’t you still care about my throne in the future?”
Zhao Zhen didn't dare to answer, and Xu Zizhen didn't want to answer. He knew that Zhao Huan's anger was partly real, but he was mostly just showing it to himself, trying to get him to come up with an idea.
Sure enough, Zhao Huan was silent for a moment after finishing speaking, and then said: "Yesterday, Prince Kaiping came to see me at night and reported the matter to me. However, he didn't know what happened, so I urgently summoned my brother to come.
Please inquire, and I hope that my dear brother will not be surprised."
"Don't dare, don't dare, this is what a minister should do."
After Xu Zizhen finished speaking, he closed his mouth again and stood aside with his hands hanging down.
Zhao Huan waited for a while and saw no response from him, so he simply stopped holding on and said straight to the point: "Brother, I heard that the little princess of Tibet called you uncle? I wonder if she ever said anything to you?"
Xu Zizhen shook his head: "No."
"Then what is she going to do?"
"have no idea."
Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment, and Xu Zizhen asked. Didn't Princess Duoqi Zhuoma have a very good relationship with him? How could she not tell him anything?
Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "Guan, why are you so anxious? The little princess hasn't come yet, right?"
"Yesterday evening arrived, and I went to the Sifang Pavilion to submit documents. We will meet after the morning meeting today." Zhao Huan looked worried. He didn't understand what he said, but Xu Zizhen already knew that he was asking for help.
Xu Zizhen pretended to be thoughtful: "I really don't know what this girl wants to do. She is also a princess after all, with status and government... I think you should meet with her first to see what she wants.
I won’t leave yet, I’ll just wait for you here, what do you think?”
Although he didn't know what Tubo was thinking, Zhao Huan still felt a lot more relaxed. He blindly trusted Xu Zizhen. Since he stayed here, everything would be easier.
Zhao Huan asked the eunuch to take Xu Zizhen to take a rest. It was already dawn and he had to go to court. Xu Zizhen and Zhao Zhen made a private appointment to see each other again and followed the eunuch. However, they only narrowed their eyes for two hours before they were caught again.
He shouted, Zhao Huan came back.
Xu Zizhen entered the study without even washing his face. As soon as he entered the door, he found that Zhao Huan's face was not very good. He naturally knew what was going on, but he pretended not to know and asked: "Guanjia, Duoqi girl lost her temper at you?
"
Zhao Huan shook his head: "No."
"Is that... an excessive request?"
"No."
"Uh, why are you so grim? What happened?"
"It's just because nothing happened." Zhao Huan said helplessly, "It would have been fine if she had denounced or asked for compensation, but she and the Tubo Imperial Preceptor only said congratulations on my coming to the throne, and they did not complain about the old thief Liang Shicheng's collusion with the party.
Not a word was mentioned.”
Xu Zizhen laughed and said: "That means she doesn't intend to pursue the case? Isn't that great?"
"It's not that simple." Zhao Huan was not stupid and said with a wry smile, "The more calm and steady she is, the less confident I feel. Now that the power of our Song Dynasty is declining, the Jin army is eyeing it, and Tubo is our ally of the Song Dynasty. This
Any accident may cause unimaginable big problems."
Just as he was talking, someone outside the house suddenly shouted urgently: "Guanjia!"
Zhao Huan looked stern: "Come in."
The door opened, and a guard hurriedly walked in. He said without even being polite: "To report to the official family, the little princess of Tubo and the imperial counselor met secretly with a few people after they left the palace. The subordinates recognized him as General Xiliao.
Yelvfu, Xixia Privy Councilor Mou Xianting, the Princess of Dali, and others, and saw them entering a wine shop with their own eyes, and their behavior was very secretive."
After hearing this, Zhao Huan's expression suddenly changed: "Can you see clearly?"
The guard said: "It's absolutely true!"
"Continue to inquire." Zhao Huan waved away the guard and said hurriedly after the door was closed, "Brother, something happened after all. If I am not mistaken, now not only Tubo, but also the envoys of those countries are also...
I have become confused, what else can we discuss in private at this time? Could it be that we are secretly planning to jointly retaliate against me?"
Xu Zizhen also became nervous, but of course he was still pretending. He frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "Guan, what are your plans?"
Zhao Huan stopped putting on airs at this time and asked urgently: "Brother Xian, I wonder if you can use your psychic skills to calculate for me. Will they really join forces to harm me?"
Xu Zizhen sighed: "Guan Jia, to tell you the truth, I even passed it yesterday, but I can't count it out."
Zhao Huan was shocked: "Ah? Then... what should we do?"
Xu Zizhen then added: "Don't worry, officials. Failure to calculate is not necessarily a bad thing. It means there is room for improvement."
Zhao Huan asked: "Really? Is there any magic way to turn things around?" He took it up as soon as he said it, "I know, there is no other way out but to kill the old thief Liang Shicheng."
Xu Zizhen nodded with approval: "I think so, and they all got together to drink. God knows what can be achieved in a long time. The officials had better take action quickly, at least let them receive the news so that they can understand
Guan Jia, your determination."
Zhao Huan slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, I'll do it now!"
"Hey, don't worry!" Xu Zizhen grabbed him, "You can just accuse the old bastard directly, can you handle it?"
Zhao Huan said anxiously: "This still can't deal with him? Is it possible to see him carefree?"
Xu Zizhen smiled, with a strange look in his eyes: "If you want to talk about this directly, what will happen to the old bastard? Then his cronies will use the Supreme Emperor to suppress you. Whether you can hold on under a group of spitters is a question. How can you survive?"
What to do with him?"
Zhao Huan was dumbfounded: "What should we do?"
"In the official family, there is a kind of bad person called the censor." Xu Zizhen winked and said with a smile, "Hey, you know."
