Chapter 380 How to defend the loyal and traitor
In the Duan Palace and study, Zhao Ji, Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu were all shocked by what Ji Yi told him.
But the reason why they were shocked was different.
Zhao Ji did not expect that Zhang Dun was really a treacherous minister! Although Zhang Dun had a bad reputation in Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhao Ji always believed that Zhang Dun was a minister who did things, and was responsible, and was loyal to his brother.
But I never expected that Zhang Dun was a treacherous minister who was disguised as a good person. He had been blinding his sixth brother for a long time, and now he had developed to the point of being crazy! He wanted to conspire when his brother was not cold, to destroy the family rules of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty and to make King Jian the new king against the emperor's wishes.
This is really hateful!
Well, although Zhao Ji didn't particularly want to be the emperor, he always believed that if Zhao Xu, the official family, had no son and nephew, would be the one who took over!
Because among the late emperors, except for Zhao Xu, who was ranked sixth, King Shen Zhao Quan was older than himself. But King Shen was a blind man, how could a blind man become an emperor? So Zhao Ji, the one who took over by age, was the one who took over by the order of age. Moreover, everyone was born in illegitimate children, so there was no saying that the legitimate children were.
In addition, Zhao Xu, the official family, obviously meant this! When Zhao Ji's princess was pregnant, Zhao Xu said that if he was a son, he would be adopted into the palace and become the crown prince... Isn't this to pass the throne to Zhao Ji? And among the sons of the late emperor, no, among all the dragon sons and grandsons of the Song Dynasty, can you find someone more outstanding than yourself?
Is there any? I am afraid that among the emperors of ancient and modern times, there is no one who can surpass himself in terms of literary and martial arts!
Zhang Dun now wants to establish King Jian, and he also has to make tricks to deceive himself from the palace... I don’t know if he wants to harm him?
Who is this a treacherous minister?
Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and thought: Zhang Dun is such a treacherous minister! He will definitely be demoted to Danzhou in the future!
Then he looked at Ji Yi, who looked as if he was ashamed, and thought to himself: You are not a good person either! But being able to return to the wrong path and expose the treacherous minister is still useful...
Wu Haogu felt that Ji Yi was stupid and confused! How could he betray Zhang Dun? How could he be so monkey spirit like this, why did he become confused at the critical moment?
Originally, Zhao Ji, and Gao Qiu, didn't even think about the conspiracy theory. So he wouldn't detain Ji Yi, he should report to Zhang Dun immediately!
As soon as King Duan entered the palace, and Empress Dowager Xiang also used armored soldiers, the situation was already very clear. Zhang Dun could not resist and had to try to protect himself.
In fact, it is not difficult to protect yourself. Just recommend Zhao Ji to be the emperor when asked about the Queen Mother.
If you get a decision, you will never worry about this life. Zhang Dun will not worry about it, why are Ji Yi still worried? Even if Zhao Ji has been reminiscent of the future, with Zhang Dun protecting him, Ji Yi will be wasted his officialdom at most, and he will still have wealth and honor.
He has sold Zhang Dun now, and Zhao Ji reported to the Empress Dowager Xiang that the Empress Dowager wouldn't cheat Zhang Dun to death? And Ji Yi became the villain who betrayed Yue Zuzhang, and can he still expect Zhao Ji to be valued in the future?
In fact, Wu Haogu is just a bystander. If he really wants to change his position with Ji Yi, he will be at a loss, and maybe he will be worse than that!
No! Wu Haogu suddenly remembered that Ji Yi actually deceived King Duan in the name of Christie's! This is going to cheat me! I am not a literati and civil servant who cannot kill, but a military officer who is chopped off casually. If you cheat like this, wouldn't you betray me to death?
Little man! This is the villain on both ends of the rat... Wu Haogu looked at Ji Yi again and was already cold and trembling. He made a secret decision in his heart that he must slander Song Huizong when he turned around. Uh, he was loyal to him and demote you villain to Yalong Bay!
You must think about it carefully, what crime should you be a villain?
Gao Qiu was so happy that he was almost stunned. This was a double happiness!
It is a joy to be the emperor, and it is a joy to be the old boy Zhang Duan is a joy to be the death!
When King Duan became the emperor, Gao Qiu naturally rose. But Zhang Dun was desperate... Then could he be a good match for protecting the emperor?
In addition, the Gao family has been so hard that it has been because Zhang Dun and Empress Dowager Gao are not in the way? The Zhang actually wants to charge Empress Dowager Gao for being accused of being a traitor and abusing the title of Empress Dowager! Now, I have to go to Danzhou to have a life of remnant.
If Zhang Dun wants to go to Danzhou, he cannot give him the opportunity to change his mind! If he says the three words "Ling Duan" later, he will have a good end.
Thinking of this, Gao Qiu said to Zhao Ji: "King, the situation is very serious now, I am afraid that the traitor will have some tricks!"
This is clearly referring to Zhang Dun's secretly hiding the dead soldiers to assassinate Zhao Ji!
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "You must be careful of others. Gao Qiu, what are you doing?"
"Please wear armor and dress up as a soldier in front of the palace and sneak into the palace to avoid being noticed by the traitor."
Zhao Ji said, "As you said." Then he talked to Wu Hao Gu's ancient way, "Dalang, you and Gao Qiu were both wearing armor and entered the palace with the orphan king.
Ji Yi, stay in the palace and study after things are settled. Take the exam carefully and it will be of great use after high school.”
...
Gao Qiu's arrangement really deceived Zhang Dun. The family he sent to follow Ji Yi to track down did not find that King Duan and the soldiers in front of the palace left the palace together, so he went back to report to Zhang Dun.
Zhang Dun, the traitorous prime minister, was actually very isolated in Kaifeng Prefecture, because he was always regarded as a rival by the local snakes in Kaifeng Prefecture. Therefore, he had no way to set up spies in Kaifeng Prefecture, and could only rely on a family member who had little intelligence experience to watch Ji Yi's side.
After listening to the family’s report, Zhang Dun breathed a sigh of relief and said to his son Zhang Yuan: “It seems that there is still something to do. I have to go to the Political Affairs Hall for my father. You can go with me.”
"Dad," Zhang Yuan helped his father up, "The palace has sent soldiers, I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid," Zhang Dun smiled, "Do you think that old lady is Wu Zetian? She dare not do anything randomly.
Compared with the Han and Tang dynasties, the strength of our dynasty is that we have rules and standards in doing things. Whether it is the court battle or the court battle, they all follow the rules and standards. Now, the old lady and I fight with us is wisdom, not strength."
When Zhang Dun and Zhang Yuan and his son went to the Political Affairs Hall, Zhao Ji, Wu Haogu, and Gao Qiu also followed Pan Xiao'an and the soldiers he brought to enter the palace from Xihua Gate. Everyone protected Zhao Ji and turned around in the huge and cold palace, and finally arrived outside the heavily guarded inner east gate.
The main entrance of the inner east gate was closed, but the door on the side was opened. Two small yellow gates stood outside the door and looked around. Seeing the soldiers led by Pan Xiao'an hurriedly turned back to report. After a while, a fat eunuch came out of the door, panting and trotting all the way to the leader Pan Xiao'an.
"King Duan? Why didn't you see Duan?"
The fat eunuch is Pang Kuan. He is old and has dizzy eyes. He can't see human faces clearly at a distance. He can only recognize people by clothes. Therefore, he did not recognize Zhao Ji in armor, which made him very anxious.
Now the things that Empress Dowager Xiang do are big or small. If she succeeds, she will "support the new king". The people who follow her will make contributions. If she fails, everyone will be in trouble. The eunuch Pang Kuan may be able to pay for her life.
The key to success is to welcome King Duan into the palace, then put on a yellow robe and accept the worship of all officials...
If King Duan is not welcomed, then the trouble will be great!
"Here, now,... King Duan is here!" Pan Xiao'an was so excited at this time that he hurriedly invited King Duan to Pang Kuan.
When Pang Kuan saw Zhao Ji, he breathed a sigh of relief, covered his chest with one hand and said, "I'm scared to death..." He bowed again, "Come with the old slave into the inner east gate, the queen mother is waiting to see you."
Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu were not allowed to enter the inner east gate, and Pan Xiao'an could only wander around the door, so the three of them did not follow them, but just watched the future Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty enter the door.
"Fat official," Zhao Ji immediately asked Pang Kuan as soon as he entered the door, "What's wrong with the official family?"
"No," Pang Kuan said, "I am no longer conscious, and the imperial physicians said they can't wake up."
Zhao Ji sighed, "What a pity, otherwise the Lone King could have sued Zhang Dun for the treacherous minister in front of the official family!"
"Report... to Mr. Zhang?" Pang Kuan was stunned, "What's wrong with Mr. Zhang?"
Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and told Pang Kuan hatefully about Zhang Dun's conspiracy he heard from Ji Yi, and finally asked: "Fatty official, do you think Zhang Dun is a traitor who has deceived the official family for many years?"
Pang Kuan thought to himself: How could it be a traitor? It is obviously a traitor! Didn’t the official family just want to pass the throne on King Jian?
It seems that the official family is still wise and wise... Zhang Dun is so loyal, he is worthy of the official family. But the official family always says that King Duan is frivolous and will not be able to tell him? If he wins the right way, the Song Dynasty will probably be in danger!
What was thinking in his heart, but the old eunuch said, "Yes, the king is right. When he sees the queen mother, he will sue Zhang Gong in front of the queen mother."
"Yes, just sue him in front of the Queen Mother."
After a stick of incense, in a small hall inside the inner east gate, Zhao Ji told Empress Dowager Xiang everything he told Pang Kuan.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiang was silent for a while before she said to herself: "It's really thanks to Wu Dalang in your palace, otherwise Zhang Dun would succeed... That Gao Qiu is not bad, very knowledgeable, it can be of great use!"
Of course, the old empress dowager knew Gao Qiu’s intention to let Zhao Ji put on makeup and enter the palace!
Now, what Empress Dowager Xiang is not worried about Zhang Dun singing a show with him, but about Zhang Dun not jumping out by himself.
If he changed his mind and supported Duan, what else could he do to him? It was nothing more than sending Jiangnan to a verdict.
"As for that Ji Yi," said Empress Dowager Xiang, "I will meet Feng to change his mind... Although he is a villain, he can also drive him."
