Chapter 612: Movement in the city, Geng Wang returns
After receiving some advice from Zhu Zhuo, all the civil servants were at ease.
Afterwards, everyone was busy contacting other people and preparing to carry out Zhu Zhuo's plan.
After everyone left, Tang Si retreated to Zhu Zhuo and asked, "Sir, what should I do about Zhang Tianhua?"
Zhu Zhuo looked at the sky with his turbid eyes, and after a while he said calmly, "A vicious blade, after using it, it is natural to destroy it. Otherwise, if others notice the location of the vicious blade, won't we also be exposed?
This time, in addition to Zhang Jun and others, our opponent is also His Majesty.
Therefore, you must not take it lightly, let alone be kind!"
Tang Situi nodded slightly, and then retreated straight away.
Zhang Tianhua probably didn't expect that after he had been busy for a long time, the promise he made to him at the beginning was completely meaningless, and in the end, he would end up with a tragic end.
Although, this ending may have been what he deserved.
Time passed slowly. Although Shi Hao's position in this matter was unclear, he naturally could not openly disobey the Holy Emperor's order.
Therefore, the soldiers who went to Lianli City to capture Geng Wang set out that day, and only five days later, Geng Wang was escorted back...
"Have you found out what happened in Lianli City?"
In the main hall, Zhao Shen sat with his eyes closed.
Wang Quan on the side heard Zhao Shen speak and hurriedly returned respectfully, "Your Majesty, you have sent someone, but they haven't come back yet.
However, I guess it will be soon.
In addition, Geng Wang is being escorted back and is expected to arrive in Lin'an today."
At this moment, a servant hurriedly came outside the hall door.
However, he did not dare to enter the main hall, but gently winked at Wang Quan.
When Wang Quan saw that Zhao Shen did not speak, he walked out lightly. The servant whispered for a moment, and Wang Quan's expression changed.
Returning to Zhao Shen's side again, Wang Quan whispered, "Your Majesty, the people from Lianli City are back, and things are as reported by the guards of the Shen Mansion.
In addition, it is said that the girl named Zhao Ling has recovered greatly from her injuries and is not in any way hindered."
Others may not really understand where Zhao Shen's anger comes from, but Wang Quan has always been by Zhao Shen's side.
Although he also didn't know that Zhao Ling had gone to Lianli City, based on Zhao Shen's words and actions in the past two days, he came to an astonishing conclusion in his mind, that is, the Zhao Ling mentioned by the guards of the Shen Mansion was very
Maybe she is Princess Guangling, the holy sister.
If so, then everything makes sense.
Of course Wang Quan knew Zhao Shen's love for Zhao Ling, so when he heard that Zhao Ling was injured, he couldn't help but touch the bottom line of civil servants and wanted to cut the Geng Wang into pieces with a thousand cuts.
Otherwise, Zhao Shen would never take such a risk with his calm temperament...
"Your Majesty, Wang Hu, the Secretary of the Imperial City, wants to see you!"
A chamberlain came in and spoke in a low voice.
Zhao Shen did not speak, and Wang Quan followed the chamberlain out of the hall.
Not long after, a burly man followed the royal authority into the hall.
"Your Majesty, King Hu, is here to greet you!"
"Um!"
Zhao Shen opened his eyes, "Did you find anything about what I asked you to investigate?"
At the beginning, Zhao Shen was really furious and without thinking twice, he directly issued the order to punish Geng Wang.
However, he soon realized that this time, he might have touched a huge creature.
The Wenchen Group was not only deeply rooted in the Song Dynasty, but also had many branches. Even as the emperor, Zhao Shen was extremely afraid of this.
However, there was no turning back when the bow was fired. Whether it was to vent his anger on Zhao Ling or to maintain his dignity, Zhao Shen could not directly change the order.
Otherwise, what dignity does he have as an emperor?
He knew very well that his sudden attack this time would definitely lead to a counterattack.
Therefore, after figuring it out, he immediately sent the Imperial City Division to secretly check the situation in Lin'an City.
"Your Majesty, I have discovered that many court officials are secretly colluding in an attempt to change Your Majesty's will.
Among them, Zhu Zhuo is the leader, and just today, they have begun to gather secretly, and I am afraid they will take action!"
A cold light flashed in Zhao Shen's eyes. These things were actually what he expected. How could those people watch him stretch out a knife to chop?
However, Zhao Shen was still extremely angry at this moment! The king is the minister, so who do these ministers count?
So what if you touch their bottom line?
Do you dare to secretly work together to force a concubine?
Do you really think that I am a soft persimmon?
"I know. I will monitor you closely. If there is anything unusual, please report to me at any time.
In addition, investigate Zhang Tianhua closely! Look behind him to see who is stirring up trouble!"
Zhao Shen is not a qualified emperor, but he is by no means a fool! How could he be a simple person if he could enter the palace at a young age, stay in power for decades, and finally control the power to ascend to the throne?
How could Zhao Shen not know Zhang Tianhua's plan?
However, some of the things he said really made Zhao Shen uneasy.
So, I just let things develop.
Speaking of which, Zhang Tianhua is just a knife for Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen naturally admired Shen Tang very much.
However, this does not mean that Zhao Shen can have unreserved trust in Shen Tang.
At least, it's not possible now.
The emperor is suspicious, this is not an empty statement.
Not to mention Shen Tang, what if it's Zhang Jun, Shi Hao and other veterans?
"What has Shen Tang been doing these past few days?"
Zhao Shen asked again.
"Your Majesty, except for Shen Tang's visit to Zhang Jun five days ago, he has been staying in the Shen mansion until now.
Moreover, in recent days, there have been no visitors to Shen’s residence!”
Wang Hu said respectfully.
"Well, you go ahead!"
Outside Lin'an City, a team of hundreds of people came in a mighty manner.
These people were wearing guard armor, and in the middle was a prison car.
On top of the prison car was Geng Wang who was being escorted back!
Not long ago, Geng Wang went north here, in high spirits.
But, how long has it been?
He was returning south, and he was coming in a prison car.
At this moment, he was looking forward to it, his face was full of decadence and despair. He never expected that things would turn out like this!
Then aren't there only a dozen guards in Shen's mansion?
Where did those tough people come from?
Most of the hundreds of horse bandits were killed and even captured alive, which directly put him into a situation that was beyond redemption.
Moreover, he originally thought that he would be deposed.
After all, this is an old rule. Although I have committed a lot of crimes, I can't kill myself, right?
Furthermore, he is not without a backer above the court.
However, when the news from Lin'an came, it immediately made him despair!
