It is impossible for such an independent and domineering person to obey Empress Cao in everything.
Unfortunately, Empress Cao came to him personally to intercede, and Zhao Yunrang still had to give him this face. At this stage, he really couldn't fall out with Empress Cao. Speaking of which, Gao Taotao was still too young and could not control much power in the harem.
An agreement was reached at the court, and Su Shi became the supervising officer. Zhao Yunrang and Yan Yuanying, the general manager of the Secret Intelligence Department, served as deputy beheading officers to jointly assist Su Shi in completing the mission.
The location was decided at Sandaokou in Bianliang City, and the people also called it Caishikou.
This place connects three streets and is a centralized place for selling vegetables in the city, hence its name.
Finally, there was an errand, Tianyou Alley opened for the second time, and a little yellow gatekeeper came from the palace and read out His Majesty's decree.
Xiaohuangmen came with a condescending look, and after receiving the silver reward from Su Shi, he left with a smile on his face. Tianyou Hutong did not close the door this time. After all, this was an errand issued by the government, and scholars were blocking the place.
, it seems ignorant.
Wen Yanbo could embarrass Su Shi, but he would not embarrass the officials. He told these scholars in advance, so that they could wait for a while and wait until the incident happened before blocking the door of Su's mansion again.
Wen Yanbo had a good idea.
That is to say, let Su Shi do something and let him kill Lu Siqiao. In this way, he will get a reputation as ruthless.
Although it is said that being ruthless has no direct connection with whether an official can be promoted. But if the matter spreads to the people, Su Shi can still be given a good blow. At the worst, it will disgust him.
It was finally quiet in front of Tianyou Hutong, but no one in the Su Mansion in the whole alley had a smile on their face. At this time, everyone had a serious look on their face. They had already known what would happen next a while ago
Everyone was excited and a little nervous at the same time.
It was also thanks to Su Shi's system and the built-in discriminator that there were more than 2,000 people in Tianyou Hutong. During this period, Su Shi had checked them one by one. His head was all red, and they were all without duplicity.
man of.
Su Shi felt relieved and told everyone his thoughts.
Regarding Su Shi's next choice, everyone was surprised and even a little scared at first after hearing it. However, after thinking about it carefully, they thought it was very correct.
Some people think it is very reasonable. After everyone accepts it, it becomes their last expectation.
The entire Tianyou Hutong can move Mount Tai if people unite.
While waiting like this, three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
Tianyou Hutong has been open for three days. Many people went out and many people came back. But Su Shi still stayed in the mansion and did not visit anyone. He interpreted the word low-key perfectly.
.
Of course, it cannot be said that no one visited him. For example, Su Shi sent someone to send a message to the palace, wanting to see King Zhao Xi of Jing.
But unfortunately, the post was sent back intact.
The first time was unsuccessful, so Su Shi submitted the post twice more. It was not until the third time that the post was returned covered with mud. Although the eunuch who sent the post didn't say anything, Su Shi regarded it as
It came out. This should be the result of Zhao Xi throwing the post on the temple and stepping on it.
This is because Zhao Xi is determined not to see him.
The last trace of worry in Su Shi's heart disappeared.
Do you really think that when Su Shi met Zhao Xi, he wanted him to help him speak and plead for mercy?
Su Shi wanted to see Zhao Xi with the last glimmer of hope, because if possible, he didn't want to take this last path. After all, he was really a lazy person.
But now, does he have any choice?
If he doesn't do something, no one will think highly of him in the future, and he is afraid that anyone can come up and step on him. At that time, it will be okay for him to feel a little wronged, but he is afraid that if he follows, he will cause trouble to his parents.
Everyone who follows him.ap.
Even in the end, others will force him to hand over the trade route. Instead of doing something at that time, it is better to do it now.
Anyway, no one is willing to help him, no
People trust him and think highly of him.
The heartbroken Su Shi locked himself in the house like this, seeing no one and not having any hope for anyone.
Renzong Zhao Zhen, who had been paying close attention to all this, was in a good mood after learning that Su Shi was honest.
He thought this was Su Shi becoming more honest. If he was willing to keep a low profile like this, Zhao Zhen was also willing to keep Su Shi as a mascot that could scare the three tribes.
But after experiencing these things, especially after learning that Su Shi actually knew and knew each other from the descendants of the Later Zhou Dynasty, it was impossible for Zhao Zhen to trust Su Shi. What he valued was the other party's pressure on foreigners and the ability to give
Various economic benefits brought by the Song Dynasty.
This is a typical example of letting the horse run but not letting it eat grass.
The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, is rich in the world.
In the eyes of the emperor, it is appropriate for anyone to use him.
On the contrary, if anyone does not listen to him, it is a kind of betrayal and can be killed quickly.
But he didn't think about it, what did you bring to them? Could it be that just because of your name as an emperor, others would have to sacrifice their lives for you?
It's a pity that after being emperor for so many years, Zhao Zhen's perspective on things has changed. If he could put himself in other people's shoes, maybe some things would not happen.
Zhao Xi from Zhaoren Palace couldn't meditate even after studying in the Royal Academy for three days.
His feelings for Su Shi are very complicated.
It was full support from the beginning.
In his eyes, Brother Su seems to be omnipotent. He can make a lot of money and defeat powerful enemies. It is definitely a blessing for Zhao Song to have such a person.
But as he grew up, he became more and more obsessed with power. Especially as he was the only prince, it seemed that inheriting the Song Dynasty was a certain fact.
Being able to become a monarch above ten thousand people, Zhao Xi's state of mind has changed. When looking at people, he doesn't look at how much the other person has paid, but only to see if the other person listens to him.
In the whole world, there is nothing but the royal land.
On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers?
Su Shi is one of his ministers. Even though he has some abilities, he can only work for himself.
If you are obedient, then give him some power.
If you are disobedient, I'm sorry, just throw it away.
Although Zhao Xi still doesn't know what the earth is, it doesn't stop him from thinking that the world will continue to turn around without anyone.
Su Shi refused to obey the order.
Then when he becomes emperor, will he follow his own will?
This unhealthy trend cannot last forever.
For the sake of his own future and Zhao Song's future, Zhao Xi decided to suppress Su Shi and take this opportunity to clean up this person completely.
Zhao Xi believed that he had given Su Shi a chance.
It's not really about punishing you, it's just about giving you a symbolic surrender, an apology, and three months in jail.
Among the high-ranking officials of Zhao and Song Dynasty, some were imprisoned repeatedly, and even more were dismissed and rehabilitated. If you cannot accept even this grievance, then in the eyes of the emperor, you are not a competent minister.
So don't let such a disobedient minister go.
Zhao Xi was young and was willing to get into trouble. He was waiting for Su Shi to bow his head, but after half a year passed, Su Shi just stayed behind closed doors, as if he had forgotten about himself as the future monarch.
This made Zhao Xi very dissatisfied. Later, news came that Su Shi and Lu Siqiao from the Later Zhou Dynasty were old acquaintances.
After Zhao Xi believed it, he became even more angry.
This is no longer a question of whether to obey or not, but a question of whether one can be trusted.
From then on, Zhao Xi became even more disappointed with Su Shi. But he still coveted Su Shi's abilities, especially the most profitable trade route in Su Shi's hands.
The world belongs to oneself, so the trade routes should also belong to oneself.
Su Shi had not been lifted from the ban before, and Zhao Xi couldn't help but send someone to talk to Su Shi.
Shi Xiangtan talked. Now that things were better, Tianyou Hutong was released, Su Shi was free, and his state of mind began to change accordingly.
Suddenly he no longer wanted to negotiate with Su Shi because he knew that the current situation had changed and Su Shi had become the target of public criticism. No one would use him except himself, and he had no one to rely on except himself.
Even so, why should he be in a hurry? Let Su Shi kill Lu Siqiao first and then talk about it, and let Su Shi cut off his last thoughts and talk about it at that time.
Waiting for Su Shi to admit his mistake, it is best to contribute to the trade route. Only then can he be a qualified minister.
As the person who once saved his life, Zhao Xi would not kill Su Shi, but would give him dignity and let him live a stable life.
As a result, Su Shi asked to see him three times, but he refused.
Zhao Xi believed that he had now grasped the general situation, and Su Shi had to bow his head, and he had no choice but to bow his head.
I have to say that time can really change a person. Especially a person who is born into a position of high power.
Zhao Xi has decided that he will look for opportunities to cause trouble for Su Shi in the future. Since you have been so ignorant, then you should suppress your awareness. He believes that he can control Su Shi.
If Su Shi is obedient, Zhao Xi won't mind marrying his sister Zhao Huirou to him, letting him be a powerless consort with peace of mind, but he can be left to his own devices.
Zhao Xi didn't know that Su Shi gave him three opportunities, but he gave them up willfully, which was the most regretful thing in his life.
Three days have passed. It is the day of execution.
In the morning, the food market was crowded with people from Bianliang City who were watching.
They had heard about this a long time ago, and also heard that the successor of Zhou Zhou was a female devil who would go crazy if she didn't eat people's hearts for a day.
They are very curious about such people, and really want to see what such a female devil looks like, whether she is really three feet tall and has fangs on her face.
The carriage made of wooden cages came slowly from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Not far from the market entrance, he met another carriage made of the same wooden cage coming from the Secret Service Headquarters.
Lu Siqiao and Feng Chunxue met again after being separated for half a year.
