Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: Persuasion
Bai Yutang stood up and smiled, "We sisters came out to serve the country and the people with Brother Bao. Since Brother Bao had given instructions, we five sisters and Mr. Zhao would not hesitate even if we went through fire and water." After Bai Yutang said that, he rubbed Zhao Congshi with his elbow, and kept blaming at Zhao Congshi.
Zhao Congshi looked at Bai Yutang's expression and immediately smiled and said, "Brother Bao, since Yutang is going, Zhao has to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman."[]
Bao Zheng heard Bai Yutang and others agreeing, and felt much more relieved. With these martial arts masters here, the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been guaranteed with another layer of security.
Bao Zheng turned around and said, "Since the prince went to the palace to seek imperial edict, then we should persuade the King of Wei and King Yi to gather the people in the world who served them so as to completely eliminate the Fortianhui."
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but say: "The King of Wei and King Yi may not agree! After all, these people joined the Totian Society for support of Emperor Taizu's descendants. It is afraid that it will be even more difficult to make the King of Wei and King Yi attack their supporters."
Bao Zheng said coldly: "If the King of Wei and King Yi understand, they should think about these issues carefully. They are planning to rebel. If this matter is a big deal, I am afraid that all the Taizu lineage will be implicated. If they do not want to become sinners throughout the ages and do not want the Taizu lineage to be cut off from now on, they should show sincerity. Perhaps the emperor is grateful to Emperor Taizu for giving up the throne of Emperor Taizong and leaving other royal families of the Taizu lineage."
Zhao Congshi, who was standing aside, listened to Bao Zheng's words, pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Bao, you are right. My cousin and his cousin want to rely on the weak power of the martial arts world to go against the court, which is simply forcing the Taizu lineage to death. But Brother Bao, if you persuade them, it may not be effective. Leave this matter to Zhao. I will definitely persuade my cousin and others to cooperate with Brother Bao's plan. But I hope that Brother Bao can plead with the prince in the future, and can leave behind the descendants of his cousin Wei and King Yi, and can continue the temple incense of Emperor Taizu."
Bao Zheng nodded and said, "It is naturally much better if Brother Zhao comes forward to persuade him. Bao Zheng is waiting for good news here. If Brother Zhao can tell the King of Wei and others, Bao will definitely give advice to the emperor and the prince and protect their descendants!"
After hearing Bao Zheng's words, Zhao Congshi immediately turned around and went to the back hall and went to the other courtyard where King Wei and King Yi were imprisoned. There was actually a reason why Bao Zheng dared to agree to Zhao Congshi.
Bao Zheng is familiar with history. Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Heng have a surprisingly unified approach in dealing with matters of the Taizu lineage, that is, to suppress the descendants of talented and capable Taizu. On the other hand, they do not kill all their young younger generations. Because the throne of the descendants of Taizu was originally given by Emperor Taizu, if they killed Taizu's young descendants, they would definitely be disgraceful to the literati and officials in the world. As long as they become emperors, they still attach great importance to good reputations. The scholars and officials are unable to criticize them. With their words and words, they become foolish monarchs who have been scolded for all generations, but it is not worth it! No one wants to give themselves a slander for eternity.
After Zhao Congshi went to the backyard, Dong Xianxian walked to Bao Zheng and said, "My father has arrived at Bao Mansion. The reason why Xian'er stayed for so long is because she has a lot to say to Dad. Dad was able to save him safely this time, because he was in danger, Bao Lang, and Dad has praised you more than once!"
Bao Zheng said at this time: "The reason why Uncle Dong was rescued was because Lord Kou had to protect him with all his might. Unfortunately, Lord Kou has passed away now, and the Song Dynasty has lost this good official who serves the country and the people!"
When Dong Xianxian heard this, she looked a little lonely, with tears flashing in her eyes, and she said sadly: "The immortal also learned from his master today that Lord Kou's death. The death of a good official like Lord Kou is a loss to the people."
When Dong Xianxian said this, she wiped her tears and said with a slightly excited tone: "Mr. Kou is extremely proud of you. Now that a good official like Mr. Kou is gone, Bao Lang, you must be a good official like Mr. Kou."
Bao Zheng looked at Dong Xianxian and was sad and happy for a while. He knew that she was exhausted from the love poison and said something from time to time that she seemed to explain the funeral. Seeing that the beautiful woman in front of him might die in more than a month, how could Bao Zheng feel better?
Bao Zheng was still in the poison of the love Gu, but he couldn't think of any detoxification method, so he had to put aside these sad things and not think about it carefully. Instead, he began to discuss the details of the Taishan Temple plan with Gongsun Ce and others. Gongsun Ce is young, but he is good at making strange plans, and he even thinks about the problems more carefully than Bao Zheng thought. A group of people gathered around the map and pointed for more than an hour, and finally discussed the planned things almost exactly. However, the matter of Zhao Congshi convincing King Wei and King Yi was obviously not as smooth as expected. After so long, he still didn't see Zhao Congshi come back.
Bao Zheng was about to send someone to see the progress, but he saw footsteps coming from the back hall. After a while, Zhao Congshi had already emerged from the back hall. As long as Bao Zheng looked at Zhao Congshi's expression, he knew that Zhao Congshi must have succeeded.
At this time, Zhao Congshi put a stack of more than a dozen secret letters in his hand on the map on the square table. Zhao Congshi said, "Brother Bao, these dozen letters were written by my cousin to more than a dozen hall masters in the forces of the Moutianhui River. In fact, a few days ago, my cousin had already found that the momentum was wrong, so my cousin had issued an order to let these people from the rivers and lakes come to Bianjing. However, before this group of people arrived, my cousin had been arrested. According to the itinerary, these people would probably gather outside the city of Bianjing tomorrow. The arrangements for the forces of the Moutianhui River have been made clear in these letters. Zhao was willing to be the front pawn of his cousin and pass a message to those hall masters on behalf of his cousin. With the identity of my descendants of Taizu and his close ties with the Moutianhui, he will definitely gain their trust."
Bao Zheng clapped his hands at this time and said, "With Brother Zhao coming forward, it will definitely be foolproof! Now I just hope that the Taishan Temple will go smoothly."
Zhao Congshi then continued to speak: "Brother Bao, most of these people in the world are blinded by their cousins. They don't know that they are doing things for Li Deming. If they know the truth and have the intention to surrender in the battle, remember not to kill them all, after all, they still have the patriotism of the Song Dynasty."
Bao Zheng nodded. He has always respected the knights. Since the main culprits, King Wei and King Yi have been arrested, the rest of the people cannot cause any great storms. However, the organization of this group of people must be broken. As the saying goes, a long arrow can easily break, and a long arrow will resist the ten thousand pounds. If these people are twisted together, it will definitely be a disaster for the Song Dynasty.
Bao Zheng immediately said, "It is not impossible to spare these people, but the Ma Tianhui will never allow it to exist again. His Royal Highness is kind-hearted and with the kindness of His Royal Highness, these people of the Song Dynasty will never have any rebellion in the future."
