Chapter 979: News Leaked

The first major military affairs that he and his father were going to discuss was how to deal with Li Yanqing, and of course Zhao Gou knew that Li Yanqing was already a bit of a big deal at present, and he had mastered eight roads in the northeast and west of Sichuan, which was several times the size of the Western Xia Kingdom.

If he really supported the army and stood on his own, half of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty would be cut off by him, and Zhao Gou also believed that Li Yanqing would not betray him for the time being, but since ancient times, the emperor's sense of security has never been based on trust, but to be controlled in his own hands.

Gao Shen sighed in his heart, and reminded Zhao Gou again, "Your Majesty, what Weichen is concerned about is that the military attache has been quite diligent in going to the Emperor Taishang during this time, which is very abnormal, and it should be paid attention to by His Majesty." β€œ

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "I also have ears and eyes in the Hidden Dragon Villa, there are indeed many military attaches who have gone to visit my father in the past two months, but this is actually the same thing as the previous civil officials visiting my father, most of these military attaches are seeking fame and seeking officials, the previous round was the civil official tide, and now it is the turn of the military attache tide, the important thing is not the military attachΓ©, but the father and the emperor, his attitude is the most important, I have already given him half of the decision-making power of major military affairs, isn't this what he wants?" If you have already obtained it, why bother? ”

Gao Shen is really difficult to speak, this kind of thing is really difficult to persuade, talking too much is to provoke the relationship between father and son of others, but if you don't say it, the official family has not seen the seriousness of the situation, and he must be reminded. ”

Thinking of this, Gao Shen reminded euphemistically: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen also believes that the matter is not so serious, but we also have to consider the worst side, we can't be defenseless, Wei Chen suggested to increase the control of the army in Lin'an City, we must firmly control the army in the hands of Your Majesty, to prevent some unexpected risks." ”

"What does Gao Xianggong mean by unexpected risks?" Zhao Gou asked with a deep groan.

"Weichen is worried that some disgruntled people have misinterpreted the contradictions between His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang, and launched a mutiny without authorization, and even the Emperor Taishang is in the dark."

Gao Shen said it implicitly, and Zhao Gou also understood it in his heart, he pondered for a moment and said: "Gao Xianggong is also reasonable, I am afraid that some people with ulterior motives will take risks, I want to firmly control the military power, and I can't be careless." ”

After speaking, he asked a eunuch outside the door, "Is General Wang Yuan on duty tonight?" ”

"He's on duty!"

"Go and summon him at once, and say that I have something important to tell him."

The eunuch rushed away, and Zhao Gou turned the topic to Li Yanqing again, "Gao Xianggong hasn't told me yet, where is Li Jingluo now?" ”

"Your Majesty, his fleet has arrived in Lin'an Mansion and is currently anchored in Chikou Town, which is thirty miles away from Lin'an City, and according to the regulations, his army cannot continue to advance."

"But he can come to see me himself, can't he?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Zhao Gou's tone, why did Li Yanqing come but refused to enter the city, did he still have to go to the Chikou Port to see him by himself?

"Your Majesty, Li Jingluo only arrived at Chikou Port this evening, and Li Jingluo has made a lot of enemies in the DPRK, so it is understandable that he is cautious."

Zhao Gou suddenly realized that he couldn't show too much dissatisfaction with Li Yanqing in front of Gao Shen, and he was silent for a while.

After a while, there was a report from a eunuch outside, "Your Majesty, General Wang is here." β€œ

"Let him in!"

In a moment, General Wang Yuan walked in quickly, his armor was not too neatly dressed, and he had obviously just woken up from bed.

"See Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gou didn't care about his private life, but asked lightly: "How is the military power in the city and the palace controlled?" ”

Wang Yuan is a veteran who followed Zhao Gou to the throne, and is Zhao Gou's absolute confidant, Zhao Gou's trust in him far exceeds that of Li Yanqing.

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, everything is under the control of the humble position, so the generals are all subject to the command of the humble position. ”

"Sure obedience?" Zhao Gou asked coldly.

"Definite obedience!"

Zhao Gou picked up Li Yanqing's report, flipped a few pages and said: "I want to remove a few people, one is Miao Fu, one is Zhang Wei, and one is Yang Chu, and these three people must be removed from their positions as commanders. ”

Although Zhao Gou began to be a little jealous of Li Yanqing, he has always been more convinced of Li Yanqing's judgment, Li Yanqing sent this report, obviously to remind himself to beware of mutiny, although he felt that it was unlikely, but Zhao Gou had to take precautions, at least there should be no loopholes.

Wang Yuan didn't know why the official family would purge these people, but he didn't dare to disobey the official family's order, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Miao Fu and Yang Chu led the soldiers out for training, and they won't be able to come back until three days, so it's better to deal with Zhang Wei first." ”

Zhao thought for a moment, "Then wait for the other two to come back, and deal with it together." ”

"Obedience!"

Wang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with these three people!" ”

"They're your henchmen?" Zhao Gou asked rhetorically.

"I can't talk about confidants, but they have all followed the lowly post for many years, they know each other better, and they are all loyal to His Majesty, which can be guaranteed."

"Loyal to me?"

Zhao Gou sneered, "If you are loyal to me, then why do you want to visit my father?" ”

Wang Yuan was really taken aback, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Gou looked at him for a long time, and said lightly: "It seems that there are still many things you don't know, so be it!" Three days later, when they returned, the three were immediately replaced. ”

.......

As soon as dawn, a small boat sailed to the dock of Yinlong Villa, dozens of steps away from the pier, and immediately a ship came forward to intercept it, and one of the boats raised the arrow, "General Miao ordered the arrow, don't stop it!" ”

According to Zhao Ji's request, Miao Fu issued a total of twenty arrows, and each arrow could go ashore smoothly and go to the Hidden Dragon Villa.

The intercepted boats dodged one after another, and the boats accelerated towards the dock, and in a moment, the boats docked at the docks, and the man disembarked and galloped towards the Hidden Dragon Villa.

Zhao Ji slept a little late last night, and his body was a little tired, but he heard that there was an urgent intelligence report from Baihutang, so he still reluctantly got up and met with the reporter.

White Tiger Hall is an intelligence station set up by Zhao Ji near the Wuling Gate of the temporary city, all aspects of the news are gathered in the White Tiger Hall, and then sorted out, the current person in charge of the White Tiger Hall is Huang Xingyao, the son of Huang Qianshan, and the person who came to deliver the letter at this time is Huang Xingyao himself.

After a while, Huang Xingyao was led into the study, and Huang Xingyao knelt down on one knee, "See His Majesty the Emperor for his humble duties!" ”

"What's the emergency?" Zhao Ji immediately asked, at this critical moment, any urgent information would be terrifying.

"Your Majesty, it's an urgent message from the palace."

Huang Xingyao took out a piece of news and presented it, Zhao Ji opened it and looked at it, and was taken aback, and dismissed Miao Fu, Yang Chu and Zhang Wei three days later, especially Miao Fu was in charge of tens of thousands of troops in Lin'an City, and was the most important person in this mutiny, if he was dismissed, it meant that the mutiny was likely to fail.

Zhao Ji is so scheming, he immediately realized that his son Zhao Gou's sudden force must be related to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing just arrived in Lin'an City, and he began to make a move here, and the cooperation was very tacit.

However, Zhao Ji still found a clue, Miao Fu and Yang Chu are currently training in the Huiji Mansion, and they can only come back in three days, it stands to reason that the Son of Heaven should immediately send someone to the Huiji Mansion to relieve Miao and Yang of their military power.

In addition, Zhang Wei is in the capital, why not immediately remove the military power, and wait for the other two to come back and release it together, it sounds like he is afraid of startling the snake, but Zhao Ji still caught the hesitation in the heart of Zhao Gou, the son of heaven, he may not want to do it too much.

This discovery made Zhao Ji ecstatic, obviously his confusion array had worked, and his son Zhao Gou really thought that he was no longer seeking to be reset, and he really thought that he was negotiating with him on the boundaries of major military affairs?

But then again, three days later, Miao Fu and the others returned and were to be relieved of their military powers, which would have a huge impact on their mutiny plans.

At this moment, Zhao Ji finally made up his mind, he had to do it in advance, since Li Yanqing had arrived in Lin'an City, then the earth-shattering thunder that he had buried in the Cao family for a long time should be activated.

Zhao Ji pondered for a long time, and finally wrote a few secret letters, ordering his henchmen and guards to send them out immediately, especially ordering Miao Fu and Yang Chu to sneak back to Lin'an City immediately.
