Chapter 260: From now on there will be no Zhennan King
Zhao Bai suddenly understood that all this was a game, a game that forced him to become Zhao Bai.
When he saw the two people floating in the river, wearing Xiaolan and Xiaowan's clothes, his heart really felt like it was being torn into pieces.
My heart ached, and I actually picked up the jade flute in my hand.
If he hadn't suddenly thought that he couldn't reveal his identity yet.
The magic sound of the jade flute will definitely make the entire Jinshui River roll up.
However, someone should have seen the jade flute in hand for just that moment.
Zhao Bai sneered in his heart.
You want me to become the King of Zhennan, can I change back to the King of Zhennan?
If the emperor in front of you is really as weak and incompetent as you say, you should have pulled him down long ago.
"Your Majesty, the return of King Zhennan is a joy to the Song Dynasty, a joy to the court, and a joy to the Emperor."
The Sixth Prince raised his head, his eyes full of excitement.
He said in a trembling voice,
"The emperor should announce it to the world so that the people of the Song Dynasty can also enjoy this happiness."
"Of course, I don't have to worry, my dear. I am happier than anyone else when my eldest brother is back."
Song Ningzong said, turning to look at Zhao Bai, "Zhao Bai accepts the order."
"Zhao Bai, a descendant of the Zhao family, I now grant you the title of General Protector of the Country, a general's mansion, a hundred acres of fertile land, and ten thousand taels of gold."
As soon as Song Ningzong published this seal, everyone understood it.
The emperor very skillfully snatched away the title of King of Zhennan.
The general who protects the country is called a general, but it is actually a false position.
This general does not have any real power and does not even have the strength of an ordinary general.
Song Ningzong used the seemingly glamorous but useless official position of General Protector to fool Zhao Bai.
Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road.
Everyone was waiting for Zhao Bai to get up in anger.
Zhao Bai has done this kind of thing more than once.
The air was eerily silent once again.
Even the surrounding weeds stood upright, waiting for an earth-shattering anger.
Who knows, Zhao Bai calmly raised his head, even with a smile on his face.
"Zhao Bai thanks the emperor for his love. However, after a serious illness, Zhao Bai is no better than a useless person and is no longer capable of being a general who protects the country."
As he spoke, Zhao Bai raised his gaze and landed on the misty sky.
"Your Majesty Zhao Baikong has the heart to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but he has no ability to kill the enemy. He really has to let down the great trust of the Emperor."
Song Ningzong listened quietly and said nothing.
Zhao Bai continued: "It's just that as a descendant of the Zhao family, Zhao Bai is not willing to linger and cannot fight for the Song Dynasty on the battlefield. Zhao Bai only wants to continue to be the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture and contribute to the safety of the people of Lin'an.
.”
Everyone couldn't believe their ears - they were so horrified that what they were waiting for was such calm and decadent words.
Especially the Sixth Prince, who anxiously moved to Zhao Bai.
"Brother Emperor, if you only serve as the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, how will you encourage the soldiers across the country to continue the Northern Expedition, how will you recover the lands that were plundered by the golden dogs, and how will you be worthy of the soldiers who died?"
Zhao Bai turned his head and glanced at the Sixth Prince: "Does the Sixth Prince think that Zhao Bai is still the former God of War, Zhao Bai?"
The sixth prince would naturally understand the subtext.
Zhao Bai is no longer the Zhao Bai he used to be.
The Song Dynasty was not the Song Dynasty of the past.
this world
From now on, there will be no more God of War, Zhao Bai.
From then on, there was no longer a King of Zhennan.
The Sixth Prince was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"Okay, it is a blessing for the people of Lin'an that the great emperor brother can consider the people of Lin'an. I will order you to continue to be the prefect of Lin'an and change the Qin Mansion into the General Protector's Mansion."
After saying that, Song Ningzong helped Zhao Bai up: "Brother, I know you are anxious about the whereabouts of Princess Lan Xin. When you find Princess Lan Xin, I will witness the marriage for you two."
After Song Ningzong finished speaking, he got into the golden sedan chair.
As soon as the emperor left, Fei Yu also left with everyone in the Imperial City Division.
Although Mrs. Li was very dissatisfied with the ending, Zhao Bai's identity was confirmed after all.
She still has a lot of time to arrange the rest of the things.
Bi Zaiyu and Li Xiaolin said they were going to find Xiaolan's whereabouts, and he also said goodbye and left.
The Sixth Prince did not leave.
"Sixth Prince, is there anything else?"
Zhao Bai asked lightly, but his eyes turned to Song Ci: "Who do you think Mr. Song will kill these two women, the older one and the younger one?"
"Brother, you don't suspect that we killed these two women and then deceived you into the game, asking you to confess your true feelings, and leading you to show up in person."
Zhao Bai looked at the Sixth Prince with sharp eyes: "I have agreed to use Zhao Bai's nature to survive in the world, so why do you need to hurt innocent people."
The Sixth Prince was stunned for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter.
"Brother, I very much hope that you can come back. You and I will work together to deal with all the traitors in the court. However, I am not willing to do anything so unscrupulous just to force you to appear."
.”
The eyes of the Sixth Prince became sad, and he held Zhao Bai's hand:
"Since you disappeared on the battlefield, I don't know how much time I have spent searching for you.
Later, I heard from Chaoyang that there was a person in Nanyang County who looked very much like you, so I went to Nanyang County specifically to make friends with you and discuss heroes with you, just to stimulate your inner fighting spirit.
Seeing that you are becoming more and more decisive in doing things and becoming more and more like the king of Zhennan, I don't know how happy I am.
I tried every means to let the emperor see Qin Shaobai's ability, just so that you can return to Lin'an.
Now, you have indeed returned to Lin'an, but you are willing to be just a small prefect.
That's not all.
You actually said that everything I have has other intentions
I am the person who will do whatever it takes to hurt innocent people to achieve my goals."
As the Sixth Prince spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
Zhao Bai looked at him quietly, but his eyes were not moved at all.
"King Zhennan, everyone can see clearly how the Sixth Prince feels about you."
Song Ci finally stepped forward and said.
"When I just did the autopsy, I found that the woman died of poisoning, and the poison was crane-top red, which is commonly used among the people. In fact, these two women have no power to restrain a chicken. If they want to die, they can be pushed directly into the Jinshui River.
Can."
Song Ci's meaning was already very clear.
If the Sixth Prince sent people to kill these two women, any inspector in the Imperial City Department could push them into the river with one palm, so why bother to kill them first and then push them into the river to pretend to commit suicide.
Zhao Bai actually knew in his heart that the death of these two women might just be a civil dispute.
The words he said were actually just a hint to the Sixth Prince. If the Sixth Prince killed innocent people indiscriminately for his own selfish interests, Zhao Bai would not let him go.
"Brother Emperor, you have heard what Mr. Song said. Now, you should trust Zhao Tian."
Seeing that Zhao Bai still didn't look at all calm, Song Ci quickly comforted him: "The Sixth Prince and King Zhennan are also worried about Princess Lan Xin and Xiao Wan, so they feel pity for these two women."
As he spoke, Song Ci actually frowned: "King Zhennan, are you sure that Lan Xingong and Xiaowan are wearing these two sets of clothes?"
Zhao Bai thought for a while and nodded.
"This is a bit strange. If these two women were poisoned by others and thrown into the river to fake suicide, why are they wearing the clothes of Princess Lan Xin and Xiaowan."
"Moreover, the body shape and age are all chosen very appropriately."
The Sixth Prince answered.
Then, the Sixth Prince and Song Ci looked at each other, with fear in their eyes.
"What did you think of?"
"Brother, you don't know something." The Sixth Prince actually found a stone to sit on, as if he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk here.
"Brother Emperor, a mysterious organization has appeared in the capital in recent years. He can customize various services for you according to your requirements, including finding a suitable body to escape the death row prisoner."
"Escape from death row?"
Zhao Bai finally spoke, but his eyes were extremely cold.
"Yes, these death row inmates are generally those who cannot be judged by the prefecture and the state on their own. Their cases will be sent to Dali Temple. During the adjudication process in Dali Temple, someone will look for people who look similar to the death row inmates."
Song Ci didn't say any more, and everyone could guess what happened next.
Zhao Bai only felt darkness in front of his eyes.
He knew that this Song Dynasty was different from the original Song Dynasty.
But he never expected that the Song Dynasty would smell so decadent.
"So, what you are saying is that someone has wanted to set up this plan a long time ago, and has prepared the mother and daughter here long ago, just waiting for such an opportunity?"
The Sixth Prince nodded.
Song Ci glanced at Zhao Bai and nodded solemnly.
Zhao Bai couldn't stand any longer.
He began to pace slowly, and after a while, he turned around.
