Zhao Dezhao asked Chu Ping and others to enter the palace alone.

Just as the morning court just left, all officials left the palace gate, and the emperor handled official duties in Wende Hall.

Zhao Dezhao asked the inner officials to enter the palace to report, but he was summoned by Zhao Kuangyin in a short while.

Zhao Kuangyin was sitting on the dragon throne at this time, frowned and turned over memorials, and his face was unhappy.

Zhao Kuangyin looks like a typical Hebei person. He has a flat face, a round face, slender eyes, thick eyelids, and a low and straight nose. He looks honest and simple at first glance.

Because of his pampering life for ten years, Zhao Kuangyin became much richer, but his dark face showed his long-standing experience, and his turbid but sharp eyes looked like he was powerful without anger.

"Dezhao is back? Didn't he ask to go to Zhaozhou to practice, why did he come back so soon?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked angry. He had been unfavorable recently, and the court quarreled over foreign wars, which made him very annoyed.

The main differences are manifested in whether the next battle direction is "first south and then north" or "first north and then south".

According to Zhao Kuangyin's own idea, he naturally destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty first, followed the trend to capture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, recovered the lost territory of the Han people, and fulfilled Chai Rong's unsuccessful ambition.

Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, that is where Zhao Kuangyin even wanted to take it back even when he was drooling!

He did do this a few years ago.

It’s a pity that those few outings were all returned in a defeat.

As a result, fierce quarrels broke out in the court. Some people suggested that it was too difficult to first north and then south. It was better to swallow several weaker countries in the south to enrich their national strength.

Zhao Kuangyin naturally didn't like the voice of the south and then the north, but his several setbacks to the north forced him to face the status quo again.

If you can have a good reason to send troops to the North, you may be able to suppress these annoying voices.

He asked Zhang Yun to go to Pingji County, Zhaozhou to investigate the things that Beihan did in detail. For this reason, he did not expect that Zhang Yun's matter was not found out and the person was dead!

What’s even more abominable is that several county officials in Pingji County not only couldn’t find out the truth, but also shirked the murderer to ghosts and gods, which was simply incompetent!

This made him get a rare fire, and he wished he could peel off several incompetent county officials in Pingji County and get rid of their tendons.

A few days ago, Zhao Dezhao volunteered to go to Zhaozhou to experience training. Zhao Kuangyin happily agreed that letting him show his face in the military was one aspect. It would be even better if he could discover the detailed work of the Northern Han Dynasty.

But Zhao Dezhao came back after he went there a month.

What can he do if he hasn't arrived for a month?

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said to himself: Dezhao is a gentle child and treats people sincerely, but he is inevitably a little weak in his bones. Could it be that he gave up after suffering and frustration in Zhaozhou?

If he always did this, it would be difficult for him to take the big responsibility... Zhao Kuangyin thought with concern.

Forget it, let’s see if he has gained something from his return to Beijing this time. If he does not make progress, it will not be too late to punish him.

Zhao Kuangyin, with a little anger, ordered the inner officials to go and pass on Zhao Dezhao.

Zhao Dezhao did not change his outfit, which was mixed with sweat and blood soreness after running around. After the treatment was slightly neat, he followed the inner officer to meet his own father.

Entering Wende Hall, Zhao Dezhao bowed and said respectfully: "Father!"

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him casually and found that Zhao Dezhao looked tired, his face looked even more ugly, and his lips were a little white.

After noticing the blood on Zhao Dezhao's body, Zhao Kuangyin's sharp eyes suddenly condensed. He stood up and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Dezhao coughed twice: "Father, son minister is assassinated."

"What?!" Zhao Kuangyin was furious. He scolded Wang Jien, the inner magistrate beside him and said, "Are you blind? You are just standing there? Why don't you give the second prince a seat and pass it on to the imperial physician."

Wang Jien hurriedly went to pass the news without any hesitation. Zhao Kuangyin had a bad temper recently, so he didn't dare to stroke the tiger's beard.

"It's all minor injuries, so there's no need to bother the imperial physician." Zhao Dezhao said hurriedly.

"What happened?" Zhao Kuangyin was a martial artist, and it can be seen that Zhao Dezhao was not seriously injured.

After the initial concern was in chaos, Zhao Kuangyin calmed down, stopped Wang Ji'en, and only asked him to bring a chair.

Zhao Dezhao sat down and said the prepared words: "Father, this incident originated from Zhang Yun's assassination in Pingji County, Zhaozhou..."

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned: "Your assassination is related to Zhang Yun? Is it related to the detailed work of the Northern Han Dynasty?"

Zhao Dezhao nodded.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flashed. Didn't Dezhao retreat, but returned to Beijing after he had gained something in Zhaozhou?

"Who did you find out who killed Zhang Yun?" Zhao Kuangyin asked with rapid breathing.

"That's right." Zhao Dezhao slowly told the details of the Ghost Principal case he learned, including Li Yi's case solving, and he had to tell it all.

After hearing all the stories, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but breathe a breath: "Zhao Jun's crime is so secretive, and that Li Yi can still solve this case, which can be called the word "wizard."

Zhao Dezhao nodded: "This person is called the 'the smartest person in Zhaozhou' by people in Zhaozhou, and he is indeed a bit capable."

"Is that true?" Zhao Kuangyin refused to comment. He didn't care how smart Li Yi was, but he was just a white dick, and it didn't matter.

"It's a pity that Zhao Jun ran away the night he was arrested. It was because his son was not doing well!" Zhao Dezhao said with regret.

Zhao Kuangyin closed his palms and laughed: "Good escape! Good escape! If he doesn't escape, I will be bothering you!"

Zhao Dezhao was stunned, not knowing what his father meant.

Zhao Kuangyin thought about the crime behind Zhao Jun, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

A Northern Han masterpiece who had been ambushing in the territory of Song State for more than ten years fled back after killing the imperial court and ordered officials. Isn’t this the best reason to attack the Northern Han?

Asking for someone to commit crimes is a false alarm, and attacking the Northern Han is a true alarm!

Moreover, I can use this reason to suppress the voices of opponents in the court first, north and south!

Sixteen states of Yanyun! Recover the sixteen states of Yanyun!

As long as we can accomplish this great achievement that Chai Rong could not achieve, who would dare to say that the Song Kingdom was wrong in the future?

You don’t have to bear the infatuation of bullying an orphan and widowed mother!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Kuangyin took several deep breaths and asked, "Then why did you get assassinated?"

Zhao Dezhao said again: "This is going to talk about Li Yi."

"Li Yi? That little white dick who solved the case?" Zhao Kuangyin said in confusion, "What does it have to do with him?"

Zhao Dezhao said: "This Li Yi solved another case in the local area before the Ghost Principal Crime case. The file should have been presented to his father. It was the case where Xue Cong, the grandson of Xue Juzheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, raped the courtesan, framed others, and was later killed."

"Oh, that matter was a big deal. I did read that file."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded repeatedly. The case was complicated, but the public letter submitted from Pingji County was detailed and thorough, and the details of the crime were clearly organized and clear at a glance.

At that time, Zhao Kuangyin thought that the solver must be a smart and intelligent person, but he didn't expect that he was still the Bai Ding Li Yi.

"It may be an accident to solve the case once, but I can't take it lightly when I try twice. Although Li Yi is a white dick, he is not good at learning and is indeed a talent..." Zhao Kuangyin thought to himself.

Because of Xue Cong's death, Xue Juzheng repeatedly wrote letters and requested a thorough investigation, which was so annoying.

Zhao Kuangyin felt that the public documents of solving the case were beyond criticism. In addition, the parties who committed the crime were not good things and were all dead, so he no longer cared about it. After beating Xue Juzheng, it was left alone.

"What does it have to do with that case?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

Zhao Dezhao said: "Li Yi found out that Xue Cong had a book of accounts, which clearly stated the dirty deeds of many loyal ministers in the court, including many of them selling official positions, plundering people's wealth, and even killing good people and taking advantage of their achievements!"

"What!" Zhao Kuangyin slapped the table, staring at his eyes like a copper bell, "Kill Liang to take credit? Do they dare to do such a thing?"

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly said: "That's right, it's the old things of the Zhou Dynasty more than ten years ago. The criminal Zheng Qi is dead, Wang Xian has also fled, and the local army that joined forces with them to commit the crime has also dispersed."

"What happened to the Zhou Dynasty?" Zhao Kuangyin felt much more relaxed and sat down slowly.

Zhao Dezhao didn't realize that his father's attitude changed: "Although it was the Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that the relationship between those people and their years of operation has not been cut off, and many other things of selling official positions and titles happened in this dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin's tiger eyes shrank slightly: "Where is that account book now?"

Zhao Dezhao looked puzzled: "This account book was handed over by Li Yi to Erchen. Erchen originally wanted to bring it back to Bianjing to present it to his father. However, what he did not expect was that this short journey back to Beijing had encountered three assassinations!

In order to save his life, the son-in-law had no choice but to throw the account book out of sight... Now, the account book has been lost."

Speaking of this, Zhao Dezhao lowered his head in shame.

"You did right. Although the account book is important, your life is the most important." Zhao Kuangyin comforted him, clenched his fists, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes, obviously he had a murderous intention.

"You dare to assassinate the prince. Those guys deserve to die! Have you read the account book, do you still remember the names of the characters?"

Zhao Dezhao said: "My son is not familiar with the ministers in the court, and only vaguely remembers the names of more than a dozen people."

After talking about the names of the dozen people, Zhao Dezhao added:

"Although the name of Xue Juzheng, the Minister of War, is not included, this account book comes from Xue Cong. The role played by Xue Juzheng must be important, and it may still be the core figure.

My son, please ask the father and the emperor to punish this person severely to correct the majesty of our court's criminal law!"

"Is Xue Juzheng..." Zhao Kuangyin's fingers slowly tapped the table. Now he was about to use troops north, and the support of the Ministry of War is indispensable.

Xue Juzheng, the Minister of War, has a high position as a powerful minister. He has been in the Ministry of War for many years and knows the Ministry of War well. The Ministry of War cannot lack him for the time being, so he cannot easily touch him.

Moreover, Xue Juzheng seemed to be very close to Guangyi. Guangyi had also requested a thorough investigation of the Xue Cong case...

There were also the names of the dozen people, some of whom seemed to have been Guangyi's disciples.

Is the assassination of Tokusaki also related to Guangyi?

No, no, Guangyi has always been honest and honest, and works diligently. He regards De Zhao as his parents and children. It is impossible to attack De Zhao.

However, Guangyi served as the prefect of Jingzhao for many years and has accumulated a lot of connections. This position cannot be allowed to continue...
