Tong Guan is over sixty years old, and has been "castrated" for a long time. As an intersex person, his male hormones are very low, and his body is dry and dry, weighing less than 100 pounds.
Being pinched by Wang Daquan was like lifting a chicken.
The most abundant thing about Genyue is the mountains, pools and rivers, any place is enough to drown a child.
The dignified prime minister and the prince of Guangyang County had so much power in the government and the public, but due to one defeat, their authority was suddenly reduced.
Even Tong Guan himself could not have imagined that one day he would be treated like this.
"Asshole, how brave!"
"Well, Wang Daquan, our family will raze all nine of your clans."
"I am the Prince of Guangyang County, Your Majesty, how dare you!"
"Where are the Genyue guards, where are the Imperial Guards in front of the palace? Why don't we kill this bold maniac on the spot?"
Tong Guan's hysterical roar continued to echo in Genyue. Naturally, there were many people who heard it, but no one paid attention to it.
Yizhou's huge gamble ended with the complete victory of Dingwangfu.
Zhao Huan's "hard power" was already very strong. He firmly held the military power in Yizhou, and he also had the official position of Supervisory Censor from the Ministry of Household Affairs, which restricted the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Mao lost power, and now the main war faction has no leader. A new party leader must be elected. Who doesn't know the relationship between Chen Zhao and Zhao Huan?
And Chen Zhao's father is an old militant.
In addition, Zhao Shiyan, the governor of Kaifeng, and Zhao Huan were both clan relatives and supporters, and were in charge of all affairs in Jidian.
It can be said that in terms of hard power, Zhao Huan's only shortcomings now are the inner court and the imperial army. If these two points can be made up for, he will be qualified to challenge Liuxiang head-on.
In terms of "soft power", there was a fund-raising conference first, and then there was the Xiaoyuan Poetry Society. The two leaders took the lead, and compared with the imperial champion, Zhao Huan's reputation in the literary circle was unshakable.
Yizhou's seventeen martyrs, Yizhou gambled on two major events, and it was enough for Zhao Huan to win the support of patriots and good generals all over the world.
Zhao Huan's goal was very clear, which was to gain a firm foothold in both military and cultural aspects, and facts have proven that he had achieved it.
Your Majesty made him the "king", which shows his importance in the capital.
Tong Guan was a huge disappointment to His Majesty. As things went on and on, no one would risk enmity with Zhao Huan to help Tong Guan.
As long as the various interests are sorted out, it can be understood that even though Tong Guan still controls the power, Zhao Huan can already directly retaliate against him.
Under the cold gaze of a group of Genyue guards, Tong Guan was directly taken to the river by Wang Daquan.
Considering that Tong Guan was accomplished both in civil and military affairs when he was young, Wang Daquan was not in a hurry to push him down.
"Mother, please calm down and stop struggling. I'm doing this for your own good."
"What if you fall into the river and drown?"
As he spoke, Wang Daquan grabbed one of Tong Guan's arms and clamped it directly under his armpit. He exerted his body strength and prepared to cut off Tong Guan's arm directly.
Tong Guan was in pain, his heart was desperate, but his face was almost crazy.
"Damn you bitch, how dare you do this to our family, we will cut you into pieces."
"I am a high-ranking official in the border area, and doing something bad to me is a heinous crime. Can you bear it?"
Wang Daquan didn't bother to talk to Tong Guan. Instead, Chen Zhao next to him grinned and sneered.
"My dear Prime Minister, stop howling. After all, you have been dominating the court for decades. Now, why do you need to be so arrogant and wallowing?"
"Don't you keep saying that Prince Dingliu has the dignity? You are also a county prince, so naturally you should have the dignity of a county prince."
"In the past few years, you have been fighting against dissidents in the court, and how many officials have you killed?"
"The prince said that if you come out to fool around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later."
Tong Guan naturally knew that Wang Daquan was a dog that could bite but not bark, so it was meaningless to challenge Wang Daquan.
He could only place his last hope on Chen Zhao.
"Even if I die, there are still five powerful ministers in the court, and they will never let Zhao Huan go."
"And once I die, Cai Jing will definitely take the opportunity to return to Beijing."
"The ministers are everywhere, and their influence has long been deeply rooted in the capital. How can Zhao Huan be able to deal with it?"
"If Zhao Huan...ahem...if the king is willing to let our family go, our family is willing to fight this powerful enemy with the king."
After hearing Tong Guan's words, Chen Zhao couldn't help but chuckle.
The prime minister, who holds all the power in the government and the public, has a day when she is begging for mercy. It is really a twist of fate.
He did not answer but asked instead: "Do you know why your majesty appointed the prince as the supervisory censor of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Tong Guan frowned: "Why?"
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, showing his shrewdness and cunning: "Your Majesty originally planned to appoint the prince as the supervisory censor of the Ministry of Industry. After all, the prince is decisive in his actions. Your Majesty wants to take advantage of the prince's power to beat the managers of the Ministry of Industry and enrich his own pockets.
Personality."
"But the prince, through Queen Xiansu, secretly asked your majesty to change the title of prince to the supervisory censor of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"The entire court thinks that the post of Supervisory Censor of the Ministry of Household Affairs is just a small job for Your Majesty to appease the prince. Little do they know that all this is within the prince's plan."
Tong Guan's eyes widened and he realized that something was wrong.
In the second year of Xuanhe, Cai Jing was demoted and expelled from Kyoto.
In the sixth year of Xuanhe, that is, last year, with the power of Zhu Meng, one of the six thieves, he was reactivated and canonized as prime minister again.
Although Cai Jing has not returned to Beijing, his wife's brother, his brother-in-law, has been promoted to the position of Minister of Household Affairs.
"Zhao Huan...has long wanted to attack Cai Jing?!"
Hearing Tong Guan's exclamation, Chen Zhao couldn't help but chuckle: "I'm not old-sighted. The prince once said that if one of the six aspects counts, there is no hope of a happy death."
"No matter whether the prince inherits the throne or not, he will kill you and other sycophants one by one."
"If you, the moths who are causing chaos in the country, do not die, how can the Song Dynasty bring order to the country?"
"Now I understand that all the begging for mercy is meaningless? Hahaha, as long as there is a chance, the first thing the prince will do is to torture you to death!"
Almost as soon as Chen Zhao finished speaking, Tong Guan's screams were heard, and his right arm was cut off by Wang Daquan.
This alone was not safe. Wang Daquan grabbed the back of Tong Guan's neck, punched him again on the back of the head, and then kicked him into the river.
The powerful prime minister who used to have all the power in the government and the public has now become a drowned dog. After splashing in the water twice, there was no movement.
Chen Zhao's face was filled with a ferocious smile, and he had the look he had when the power thieves were in power, but he knew very well in his heart that King Ding was not His Majesty.
Today, King Ding can execute Tong Guan to death without hesitation, and he will execute Chen Zhao as soon as possible in the future.
Therefore, Chen Zhao must be as cunning as the Six Thieves, but also must be absolutely loyal to Zhao Huan, in order to have a happy ending.
He turned around and looked at the Genyue guards not far away.
All the guards who came into contact with Chen Zhao's eyes turned pale and quickly lowered their heads to avoid it.
"My dear wife has fallen into the water, why are you still standing there? Come and save her!"
