But if Zhao Yu, the mastermind behind this, is now traced, then the empire will face the risk of civil war.
Zhao Yu has many connections in the southern region, and he also controls Fengjiang, an important economic town in the central region. His combined strength is not much weaker than that of Zhao Kai. If you include the support of the Tang people behind the scenes, Zhao Yu even has a little bit of control.
Advantage.
Therefore, what Zhao Kai was thinking was that this matter should be dealt with in Mohu - as long as everyone does not try to find trouble for Zhao Yu, the situation will be most beneficial to Zhao Kai.
There was such a big incident in the imperial capital, and Zhao Yu was somewhat suspicious, so Zhao Yu's desire to go to Fengjiang could be suppressed... Thinking of this, Zhao Kai felt that he seemed to have found the most advantageous one.
solution.
As for who wanted to kill Zhao Ji, this matter is no longer important: it was not successful anyway? Why did you pursue it so carefully?
But Zhao Ji felt that this was the best and last chance to bring down Zhao Yu, so he did not intend to give up, but begged Zhao Kai over and over again to help him get justice.
"Father! My father! My wife...concubines...were all killed! My father! I want to personally interrogate those assassins! Find out the truth and avenge my wives and concubines!" Almost touching Zhao Kai's shoes
In front of him, Zhao Ji knelt on the ground and cried in pain.
Zhao Kai sneered in his heart. If Zhao Yu hadn't been too aggressive, he would have even suspected that Zhao Ji himself had directed the farce in which he was assassinated - for such a failed assassination, the assassin's suspicion was not small!
Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor who "upholds justice", similar incidents are simply an opportunity to re-adjust the weight on both ends of the scale.
As for who is right and who is wrong, who did it and who framed it, does it matter? As long as the emperor decides the final result, as long as the result is in the emperor's interest, who cares about the truth?
"Get up! He's crying...what does he look like!" Zhao Kai ordered Zhao Ji impatiently, and even lost interest in going up to help him.
Zhao Ji, who has lost his mastermind, has been crying a lot recently, and from time to time he makes some requests that Zhao Kai doesn't like, which has already made Zhao Kai tired.
If he didn't have to use such a shield to resist damage in front, Zhao Kai would even have the urge to kill the prince.
"Send someone... to... find Zhao Yu!" Zhao Kai thought about it and decided to talk to Zhao Yu.
On the one hand, he wants to give his son a beating and let the other party know that it is he, Zhao Kai, who has the final say in this Great China Empire!
On the other hand, I also hope to appease Zhao Yu, let him be honest for a while, stabilize the situation of the Dahua Empire, and prevent outsiders from taking advantage.
The matter of punishing Zhao Yu must be put aside first. The internal conflicts in the Dahua Empire must be eased first, and the top priority is to appease people's hearts.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai looked at Zhao Ji, who was still crying for Zhao Kai, and scolded him coldly: "What are you making a fuss about? We must focus on the overall situation now! If something really goes wrong, you, the prince, may not be able to do anything.
benefit!"
His words suddenly made Zhao Ji put away his tears and could only kneel on the ground, watching his father grab the phone at hand.
"I'll find Zhao Yu first. You have to pretend to be a friendly brother! If Zhao Yu makes trouble again and wants to go to Fengjiang, Dahua will be in chaos!" After saying that, Zhao Kai released his cover.
The hand holding the phone receiver commanded majestically: "Get Prince Zhao Yu for me."
After a long wait, the phone in Zhao Yu's room rang suddenly, startling the nervous Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu grabbed the phone receiver with some anxiety and heard his father's majestic voice. The other party asked him if he was okay, and then asked him to go to the palace to pay his respects.
The reason is quite natural: a rebel who assassinated the prince appeared in the capital. Emperor Zhao Kai was very concerned about the safety of his sons and ordered all his sons to go to the palace to let Zhao Kai take a look and report on their situation.
But the problem is, some people have a guilty conscience.
"Bah!" After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yu grabbed the entire phone and threw it to the ground. If he had the guts to see Zhao Kai again, he would be in trouble.
In the phone call just now, Zhao Kai had clearly told Zhao Yu that Zhao Ji was not assassinated and the thieves did not succeed. He did not intend to delve into the matter. After all, the empire has been in turmoil recently and this incident should be handled more cautiously in troubled times.
But when these words came to Zhao Yu's ears, they had a different flavor: Zhao Ji was not dead, so Zhao Yu was not absolutely safe! The empire was in turmoil... Wasn't it all Zhao Yu's fault?
Maybe Zhao Kai has prepared hundreds of swordsmen and axes in the palace, and is just waiting for Zhao Yu to go and throw himself into the trap - as long as he kills him, Zhao Yu, won't a lot of things be over and there will be no future troubles?
As for Zhao Kai's statement that he did not want to delve into the matter, Zhao Yu took the initiative to ignore it: this sentence was nothing more than a lie to trick him into committing suicide.
"Sir!" After he finished venting, he looked desperately at the counselor sitting beside him, hoping to get some advice from him: "Go, or not?"
"If you go, the danger is actually not great. Your Highness, you have the support of the Tang Empire and the support of so many ministers. It will not be easy for the emperor to kill you." The young counselor who was already sure of victory was not anxious at this time.
.
He first mentioned the option of going, then changed the topic and continued: "But if you go, although the risk is not high, your highness, your life... is really in the hands of others. Even if it is just in case.
, but after all, there is a possibility."
The counselor's words really spoke to Zhao Yu's heart: There is only one life, and it feels completely different to control it yourself and to hold it in the hands of others.
Zhao Yu did not have the guts to leave his life to Zhao Kai or Zhao Ji. He prayed that they would put the overall situation first, choose a rational way of dealing with it, tolerate his wantonness, and turn a blind eye to his provocations.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the contrary, Zhao Yu felt that if he were sitting in that position, he would definitely kill the current Zhao Yu irrationally and cause subsequent events.
We’ll talk about it later too.
At this moment, the young conspirator continued to say: "At this time, Your Highness might as well leave for Fengjiang first! If His Majesty doesn't want to kill you, then he will definitely not take any action. If His Majesty really takes action, then
This proves that... Your Highness, if you had gone to the palace this time, you would have narrowly escaped death."
"Yes! What you said is right! What you said...makes sense!" Zhao Yu, who felt that he was at the end of his rope, immediately grabbed his own life-saving straw.
After all, Fengjiang is where he and Tang Ren have been operating for many years, and it is his territory! As long as he reaches Fengjiang, he can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and he is absolutely invincible.
"If I go to Fengjiang...the Tang Empire, Mr. Nangong...will continue to support me?" Zhao Yu confirmed again, a little uneasy.
This is the last choice. If the Tang Empire cannot give him enough support, then no matter where he is, he will be just a piece of meat on Zhao Kai's chopping board.
But if he can get the support of the Tang Empire, he may break the soil and become the king, and he may compete with Zhao Kai.
"Your Highness, you are worrying too much! When have we, the Tang Dynasty Empire, ever treated your friends badly? As long as His Highness arrives in Fengjiang, the Datang Empire will protect His Highness no matter what." The young counselor gave Zhao Yu a very gratifying answer.
answer.
"I will accompany your highness on this journey of more than 1,700 kilometers! No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, Datang will always be with you... and never leave you!" The counselor stood up and made a gesture of invitation, asking Zhao Yu to
Time actually has the feeling of shining brightly with great ambitions ahead.
At this moment, outside Zhao Yu's residence, Li Mingshun received the order and personally arrived with a regiment of heavy soldiers. The soldiers jumped out of the truck amidst noisy slogans and surrounded the entire courtyard.
What he didn't know was that Zhao Yu had already started running away. He didn't even take any money, so he went into the tunnel with his advisers and escaped from the encirclement.
Accompanying him were Zhao Yu's trusted butlers, as well as his wives and concubines, more than a dozen of them, and they didn't even look like they were running away.
After a few minutes of stalemate with the guards and servants of the mansion, Li Mingshun lost patience and ordered his troops to rush into Zhao Yu's mansion.
As a result, he soon discovered that Zhao Yu and Jia Juan had disappeared, so he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed and reported the news of Zhao Yu's disappearance to Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai was also confused for a moment - he had no intention of doing anything to Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu ran away with a guilty conscience! This suddenly made him angry, and he lost his last hope for Zhao Yu, his son.
patience.
"Kill him! Kill him without mercy! Kill this traitor! Kill him!" Holding the phone, Zhao Kai finally shouted the order that Zhao Ji wanted to hear most.
After receiving the clear order, Li Mingshun immediately ordered all the city gates to be closed. After all, less than half an hour ago, Zhao Yu answered Zhao Kai's call in the mansion, so according to the time, Zhao Yu must still be in the city at this moment.
!
Therefore, Li Mingshun efficiently controlled all the passages out of the city, and ordered the search for tunnels to hunt down the missing Zhao Yu and his party.
After all, this is the imperial capital of the Dahua Empire and can be said to be the most efficient, so the troops who executed these orders completed Li Mingshun's orders very seriously and quickly.
There are patrolling trucks and checkpoints everywhere... But for the well-prepared intelligence department of the Tang Empire, it is actually not difficult to deal with such a scene.
They had already prepared a complete set of response plans, so when Zhao Yu walked out of the tunnel, there was already a car waiting in front of him.
Zhao Yu got into the car, and then a luxury motorcade drove out of the parking lot and sped towards the pre-prepared tunnel out of the city.
