The officials sitting on the east side of Sanxiu Hall felt as if a lifeless shadow was hanging over their heads.
They originally planned to use this fund-raising conference to spend a lot of money to win over righteous people from all over the world.
result……
After Zhao Huan made such a fuss, no one dared to take out another half penny.
All the officials were sitting upright, showing a hypocritical attitude of having cool sleeves, a tight pocket, and a bright mind.
Sparse discussions echoed among the officials.
"Evil! The young master of the Gao family was just... beaten to death by Zhao Huan? Why did the former playboy prince suddenly become so cruel and ruthless?"
"More than that? King Ding's methods are obvious to all!"
"Gao Yaokang seemed to be taking the initiative and targeted him everywhere, but in fact he was led by the nose by King Ding and walked step by step into the abyss. He died without knowing how."
"Although Gao Yaokang is dead, the Gao family's debt of 30,000 taels to Prince Ding will not be written off in one go..."
"This method cannot be used without decades of experience in the court. But the problem is... I have been serving King Xianyun Yehe for ten years, and I have not even taken a step into the court..."
"In my opinion, King Ding is clearly waiting for an opportunity to act. He has been dormant for ten years, waiting for this opportunity."
"It's terrible! It seems that the world of Song Dynasty is about to change."
Zhu Lian, who witnessed the whole incident, was a little confused.
With the strength of the Gao family, they can firmly dominate the Zhu family. Before this, for Zhu Lian, Gao Yaokang was simply unattainable.
But... Zhao Huan didn't even touch Gao Yaokang with a finger, and killed Gao Yaokang's eldest son with just one mouth.
"Damn Zhao Huan, you lied to me for ten years."
"Don't think that one good show of kindness can make up for ten years of neglect."
"Let's settle this account one by one when we get home."
At this time, Zhu Lian hated Zhao Huan as much as he was happy.
You can't hide the look in your eyes that you want to strangle someone. Zhao Huan, who had planned to take the opportunity to show off, felt the killing intent coming from behind, so he could only hold his head high and put on a righteous attitude.
Pretending to know nothing...
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from beside me.
"Your Majesty, do you have any plans after the meeting?"
arrange?!
This word is too familiar to Zhao Huan!
He turned around and saw a young man in white approaching him from nowhere.
He looks in his early twenties, has a fat head and big ears, and looks wealthy.
According to the memory inherited from his predecessor, this person is Chen Zhao, the son of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin Academy plays an important role in Bianjing. It is directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is mainly responsible for "playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, arts and medical documents, etc."
At first, it was purely an agency exclusively for His Majesty to play with, but now it has become His Majesty's exclusive "think tank".
The general person in charge is the "activity officer".
Due to the deep connection between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the eunuchs in the palace, the word "gangguan" gradually became a derogatory term. The so-called "shady affairs" was a secret curse for cheating the official.
Zhao Huan was murmuring in his heart. He didn't understand why the Hanlin courtyard boy suddenly came to show his kindness to him...
"Mr. Chen, tell me what you have to say. I am timid and most afraid of being plotted against."
Chen Zhao, who had been smiling just now, suddenly turned pale and cursed in his heart.
Who is timid? If it weren't for you, who just killed Gao Yaokang, I would really believe it!
Considering that business was important, Chen Zhao forced a smile.
"My lord, please don't worry. I just want to compete with His Majesty by reciting poems and being arty."
"Your Majesty is a great talent, and these thirteen poems are just like the Wenquxing in this world. I am so impressed by them."
Seeing Chen Zhao's sincere look, Zhao Huan sneered in his heart.
The Hanlin Academy is responsible for "poems, songs, and poems, etc." and they came to contact him on the pretext of "discussing poetry". The reason is quite good.
It's a pity that Zhao Huan is not stupid.
The Hanlin Academy was affiliated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was Tong Guan's party.
If you rashly make friends with a brother from the Hanlin courtyard, you are afraid that you will be betrayed, and you will foolishly help count the money.
but……
Zhao Huan did not refuse outright, but he wanted to see what medicine Chen Zhao was selling in his gourd.
"Are you comparing your poetry skills, or are you plagiarizing my calligraphy?"
Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment, then snickered: "Hahaha, with the prince's great talent, any authentic calligraphy work can be sold for a big price."
"At that time, there will be businessmen coming to fight for it."
"After the fund-raising meeting is over, how about I go to the palace to pick up the prince?"
Zhao Huan waved his hand: "Easy to say."
Zhu Lian was originally angry with Zhao Huan, but when he found out that he was actually hooking up with Chen Zhao, he quickly scolded him in a deep voice.
"If you are not afraid of death, then go ahead."
"You just died outside, but don't let me collect your body."
"Then Chen Zhao is someone you can mess with?"
Zhu Lian had a cold face and couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He didn't know what was going on with this guy.
When you are smart, killing Gao Yaokang is like crushing an ant.
When he is confused, he is so stupid that it makes people laugh.
Chen Zhao is a disciple of Hanlin Academy, and all fools know that he must be Tong Guan's lackey. When he comes to contact Zhao Huan at this time, the flattery is false, but the conspiracy is true.
and……
Chen Zhao is a frequent visitor to the official training workshop...
Zhu Lian was not worried that Zhao Huan would flirt with women, but that he would ruin all the reputation that the palace had worked so hard to accumulate.
Being scolded by his beloved concubine, Zhao Huan was filled with joy in his heart.
It seems that this iceberg still cares about me subconsciously, but it's just that after ten years of neglect, the hatred is so deep-rooted that it's hard to let go of it for a while.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
"Daughter-in-law, I know this well."
Zhu Lian's eyes were filled with contempt: "If you really knew what was going on, you wouldn't use public opinion to force His Majesty to kill Gao Yaokang."
"Now, Prince Ding's Mansion has provoked two great enemies: His Majesty and the Gao family!"
Zhao Huan shrugged, nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of?"
"I just want everyone to know that if anyone is not afraid of death, he can jump up and down in front of my wife."
"Come one, I will destroy one."
Faced with Zhao Huan's extremely arrogant but passionate remarks, Zhu Lian was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. He simply snorted and ignored this lunatic.
Zhao Huan was as clear as a mirror. He and Zhao Ji had been incompatible with each other for a long time. Even if there was a huge quarrel, the relationship would not get worse.
Besides, the Gao family is nothing in Zhao Ji’s mind?
What Zhao Ji really cares about is the title of Yanyun Jiuzhou, the Eternal Mingjun.
What happens at the fund-raising meeting will definitely reach the ears of the Jin people. Since the road of begging for mercy is no longer feasible, the only road left is to fight bloody battles.
At this time, the support of the people of the world is even more needed. Zhao Ji will not easily attack Zhao Huan.
