Great Song Pirate

Chapter 461 King Ji's Choice
Bianliang, Tokyo, which is far away from Liuqiu Island, is already in autumn, and there is even a slight chill. People who are not very cold-resistant have begun to put on thick winter clothes. The trees in the city have already put on winter clothes. With the blowing of the rising north wind, the leaves finally couldn't hold on, and reluctantly bid farewell to the branches and returned to the embrace of the earth.

The city of Bianjing is still a scene of singing and dancing, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging here, and a dispute over the succession is being staged here. A person hurriedly walked into an alley and knocked on the side door After that, he flashed into the compound.

Zhao Xuku was sitting in the study room, wiping his sword boredly. During this period of time, the battle for the heir apparent that Wang Fu provoked made him very tired. Under Wang Fu's gathering, many ministers proposed to replace the crown prince. There was an uproar in the city of Bianliang. It is well known that the most beloved prince of the current emperor Zhao Ji is not the current crown prince Zhao Heng, but the current third prince Zhao Kai. The most fundamental reason why Zhao Kai is favored by Zhao Ji is that he has many The place is very similar to Zhao Ji, with a great literary talent, and he knows everything about poetry, calligraphy and painting. He even secretly participated in the scientific examination that coincided with the first year, and he was invincible all the way. He won the champion of that year, and later his father, Zhao Ji, was afraid of gossip, so he canceled his champion. However, this incident made Zhao Ji look at his son differently. Province, no longer limited to day and night, build a fly bridge to return to the road in Waidi.It can be seen how much the father loves Zhao Kai.

The reason why such a thing happened this time, Zhao Xu is very clear about the reason, the crown prince is also his elder brother Zhao Hengbing is quite upright, since Wang Fu was using money to redeem Yanyun and other empty cities from the golden man Afterwards, he pretended to be victorious with a lot of whitewashing, led hundreds of officials to congratulate him, and won the favor of his father. This trick was just to make Zhao Ji smile, but the result was that Prince Zhao Heng hated him very much. Not to mention that the prince was disgusted by this matter, even Zhao Xu wanted to kill this villain with a knife several times, but he passed through this. After a period of tempering, he had already matured a lot, so he didn't do such extraordinary things, but his dislike of Wang Fu would never be inferior to that of Zhao Heng, so he basically never associated with Wang Fu's party.

But after the bastard Wang Fu found out that the crown prince hated him, he thought that the current emperor would be Zhao Heng who would be in power a hundred years later, and worried that the billions of dollars he had accumulated with great difficulty would be wiped out, so he secretly began to encourage the king of Yun, Zhao Kai, to try to make him He replaced Zhao Heng and became the crown prince, so that now Bianliang City is in full swing. In order to seize the heir, the two princes are fighting openly and secretly, trying to win over all the forces that can be used. My lord, therefore, whether it is the Prince Zhao Heng or the King of Yun Zhao Kai, they are trying to lure him into the gang, making him in a dilemma.

It's not that Zhao Xu has never thought about the throne, but he also knows his position in the heart of his father, Zhao Ji. With his unconventional style, let alone Zhao Heng and Zhao Kai, even without them, the relationship between so many princes would be far away. It is absolutely not his turn to covet the throne, so he has no interest in it. It will be meaningless to him whoever becomes the emperor in the future, but the current situation is that the crown prince and King Yun have already released rumors, so that Either he supports Prince Zhao Heng, or he supports King Yun Zhao Kai, don't try to be a centrist to please both sides, which makes him feel in a dilemma.

At this time, he was well aware of his status in the capital. Compared with other princes, he was the son whom Zhao Ji despised the most among the princes. Now he was confined in Bianliang City, and his status was already in jeopardy. But now he is involved in such disputes again. With his current situation, if he makes a wrong bet, he may be the one who suffers the most, not the loser!So ever since this incident happened, he has been indecisive, and he has discussed the matter with many officials who are close to him, but the conclusions he got are quite different. Some people say that he should support the prince, and some people say that he should support the prince. Supporting King Yun was because the public said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. The result didn't make him make up his mind, but it made him not know what to do.

Wang Fu is now in power, and Yun Wang Zhao Kai is the prince who is most loved by his father among the princes. There are quite a few ministers who support him in the court. Many ministers have written to impeach the current prince Zhao Heng, and ask his father Zhao Ji to depose Zhao Heng Zhao Kai was appointed as the crown prince. Judging from the current situation, his father Zhao Ji has begun to waver, and Zhao Kai seems to have gained the upper hand.

And the crown prince Zhao Heng is not in vain. Zhao Heng's biological mother is the current queen, and the Wang family is not a good stubble, and her power is not trivial. It was abolished, and Zhao Kai was appointed as the crown prince, so the queen had already used all her strength to contend with Wang Fu and Zhao Kai, and won over a considerable number of princes and ministers to stand on Zhao Heng's side. , and this practice violated the ancestral system, and tried to dissuade Zhao Ji from changing the crown prince, otherwise he would not be able to convince the public. In this way, although Zhao Ji was somewhat inclined to change Zhao Kai as crown prince, he had to consider the opinions of these ministers, so he kept They were all hesitant, and Zhao Xu also didn't know what to do.

In desperation, he suddenly thought of Mr. Xu who was as good as a god, and now he should be said to be the leader Xu. As soon as Zhao Xu thought of Xu Yi, he immediately sent his cronies out of Bianliang to Hangzhou to give him a hand. Sending the letter, I want to hear his opinion. The person he trusts most now is probably the pirate leader, but it has been two months since the letter was sent, but there is still no news at all, and the prince and Yun Now the two sides of the king are fighting extremely fiercely, and they have sent people to ask his opinion, forcing him not to know what excuse to use to continue procrastinating. This has not just sent away an official from King Yun's faction. Xu was almost annoyed to death by this matter.

"My lord! The people from the south are back! They said they brought back Mr. Xu's handwritten letter!" Zhang Hu suddenly whispered to Zhao Xu outside the door.

Zhao Xu, who was very depressed, immediately stood up when he heard the words, and shouted: "Hurry up and present it to me!"

Zhang Hu immediately walked into the study, and handed a letter with human body temperature to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu immediately tore open the envelope and took out the letterhead inside. The words on it looked really unflattering. But right now, he was not in the mood to comment on Xu Yi's calligraphy. Instead, he glanced at the entire letter quickly, then frowned and thought for a while, and then threw the letter into the charcoal basin beside the table. The letter paper immediately burst into flames in the charcoal basin, and soon turned into ashes and floated up with the heat.

"Prepare the car for me immediately, I'm going to the East Palace to meet the crown prince..." Zhao Xu ordered Zhang Hu.

Standing in a warehouse, Xu Yi looked at the two neat rows of green bronze cannons lined up on both sides of the aisle. , after understanding the situation everywhere, just took a short rest, and immediately began to patrol around Jilongzhai.

Before that, he also ordered Li Bo to release a number of carrier pigeons, and gave orders to all his subordinates to restrain themselves, to temporarily put away the skeleton flag, and try not to have any more conflicts with the Song army, and ordered Kong Qingxi to lead the main ship The fleet withdrew from the sea off Guangzhou, and most of its personnel moved south to Qiongzhou for activities. The elite ships and personnel were transferred to Danshui Village for training; the fleet under Wang Feng withdrew to the Penghu Islands for garrison, and the elite fleet was also transferred to Danshui Village for training; Except for the merchant fleet that continues to operate in an open and legal capacity, most of Bin's headquarters were transferred to Dulong Island and Huangyu Island for garrison and training to strengthen the defense forces of the two places. At the same time, they participated in the reorganization of the navy headed by Sun Hai; the Miao Fang Department continued to operate in the Bohai Bay, but it also needed to gather and train to reduce the harassment of Song ships on the east coast of Duojiao and to increase the surveillance of Jin. Continue to firmly control the Bohai Bay area.

Li Bo was quite disapproving of Xu Yi's instructions, and asked why. In the eyes of Li Bo and others, considering the current overall strength and terrifying combat power of the Fubo Army, their Fubo Army is completely unnecessary If you have scruples about the Great Song Navy, if you can't fight, just fight a battle. It will also let the Song Army see how powerful the Fubo Army is, and save the Song Army from looking for trouble in the future.

And Xu Yi just smiled and didn't answer, telling him to just release the pigeon or send someone to pass the order. It's not that he didn't want to give Li Bo a clear explanation, but that he really couldn't explain this matter to Li Bo, if history didn't shift Now it is almost the end of the sixth year of Xuanhe, and the Liao Kingdom has long existed in name only, except that Emperor Tianzuo has not been captured by the Jinren. As long as Emperor Tianzuo is captured by the Jinren, the Jinren will never let it go Song, the time left for Great Song is already too short, even if Huizong becomes an immortal now, he may be powerless to recover!
Although Xu Yi is very clear that if it is at sea, defeating them is just a matter of hand for his Fubo army with the combat power of the Great Song Navy, but doing so will inevitably cause his cheap father-in-law Zhao Ji Don't look at this old guy and his gang of treacherous officials who have no ability to deal with foreign enemies, but this gang of bastards will definitely spare no effort to deal with the rebellion in their own country. Once the court is hurt and annoyed , this group of grandsons will definitely gather the best of the country to concentrate on the coastal areas to guard against their own Fubo army, and will do their best to build warships and find trouble for themselves. At that time, with his current strength, he will have to face overwhelming forces. Although he was not afraid of the counterattack of the Song Dynasty fleet, once it got to such an extent, the people who fought and died would still be Han Chinese, and what they did was brother-in-law.
