[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

Chapter 304

As Su Ye said, Zhao Ji is not really stupid, but just dizzy.

When he came to the throne, he also wanted to show off his glory, do a good job, and rectify the weaknesses and shortcomings accumulated by the Zhao Dynasty over the years.Unfortunately, he is not suitable to be a politician after all.He is an artist, an artist who is easily immersed in his own world.He was always quick to shrink back from problems that did not interest him.

He has ideas, and ideas are often wrong.He tried to distinguish loyalty from traitors, virtuous and foolish, but he always fell under the voice of "Long Live Shengming".He even knew everything about the evil deeds of the Cai Party, but he thought that the monarch and his ministers were in harmony with each other.

Moreover, the foundation of Cai party has been deeply rooted.Even if Zhao Ji suddenly cleared his mind and planned to sweep away the wind, he had to act cautiously so as not to cause irreversible violent shocks.

He is not only gullible, but also stubborn.Whoever he likes is a good person and belongs to the Qing family.The state of Long Ba scrambling to sue Su Ye is worrying, but it cannot determine her life or death.

Taking Cai Jing and Fu Zongshu as examples, we can see Zhao Ji's personality characteristics.At that time, there was a lot of public dissatisfaction, and the ministers of the DPRK and China went to the court one after another to impeach Cai Jing and demanded that Cai Jing be deposed.Zhao Ji had no choice but to replace Cai Jing with a new prime minister, dismiss Cai Jing from his actual position, and give him the title of Grand Master, making it appear that he only takes his salary and ignores the government.

The new prime minister is Fu Zongshu.

Cai and Fu had made an appointment long ago, and the relationship must not be a good one and two good.In front of Zhao Ji, Fu Zongshu did not pretend to talk to Cai Jing, and often criticized Cai Jing, acting like a businessman.When Cai Jing mentioned Fu Zongshu, his attitude was exactly the same.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji was very happy, thinking that both of them were loyal ministers and they were not afraid of offending their colleagues.But if he thinks about it carefully, he will find that the shortcomings pointed out are actually insignificant, and they do not damage the integrity, but instead make people feel kind to them.As for important matters such as raising dead soldiers in the mansion and wantonly buying Jianghu warriors, neither of them would mention it.

In addition to these two people, there is the general Tong Guan.Tong Guan also found out Zhao Ji's temperament, followed suit, and finally became a general.During his expedition, his record was actually lackluster, with many defeats and few victories, which did not bring any benefits to the Song Dynasty. Instead, it angered the Jin, Liao, Xixia and other surrounding countries, which indirectly led to frequent border wars and the people's misery.

However, he was able to speak kind words, colluded with powerful officials, exaggerated his achievements every time, and avoided talking about the issue of leading the army to search and plundering himself.If the soldiers fight on the battlefield and make a record, he will add fuel and vinegar, and say that one point of credit is ten points, of which nine and a half points belong to his command meritorious service.What's more, he used the military power in his hand to assist Cai Jing to suppress the loyal people who refused to accept him, so as to get Cai Jing's reward.

Zhao Ji thinks that Cai Jing is a virtuous minister, and he also thinks that Tong Guan is a hero.He has not been able to see until now that the actions he has taken since he ascended the throne have caused thousands of miles of disasters. More than ten years later, the Kingdom of Jin annexed the north of the Yangtze River and drove the Song Dynasty to the south of the Yangtze River.And he was close to monks and Taoists, pursuing alchemy and ascending, which consumed all his energy, leaving him no time to care about state affairs, and handed everything over to his trusted courtiers, and finally he was powerless.

Su Ye was still thinking about these things when he entered the inner city of Bianliang and saw the majestic palace.

The palace is heavily guarded, and there are many masters in the palace. Some of them follow Zhuge Shenhou's orders, some take refuge in Mi Gonggong and Fang Yingkan, and the other part is greedy for gold and silver, and secretly colludes with the Cai Party to send the news out of the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, she immediately felt that the atmosphere here was magnificent, far better than the houses outside.Fortunately, she had seen many imperial cities, and she did not show any timidity. She calmly followed the leading inner prison, stepped into the side gate of the imperial city, crossed the nine-fold main hall, and entered the harem.

Wang Xiaoshi was worried that Zhao Ji would turn his face and deny anyone, and that it would be difficult for her to leave the imperial city, which is not groundless.However, he compared his heart to his heart and used his own strength to measure Su Ye. After all, he was wrong.There are many characters in the palace, but few deserve her attention.

What surprised her was that Zhao Ji was so confident that without saying a few words, he waved away the eunuchs serving Gong'e, leaving her alone, as if he wanted to talk to her in private.

When a person talks with others alone, he is afraid of revealing the secret, usually because he wants to do something ulterior.Su Ye heard the voice of Mi Gong's official closing the door, and once suspected that Zhao Ji had finally come to his senses, and realized that the Cai party was harmful to the court, and planned to let her assassinate Cai Jing.

The imperial incense lingers in the Warm Pavilion, and the fragrance is elegant, as if the tables and chairs are covered with fragrance.The incense burner is an ancient relic from the previous dynasty, luxurious and exquisite, and it is worth a thousand gold at a glance.In other places, patterns of dragons, phoenixes, sun, moon and stars are often used for decoration, with gold and silver inlaid.

Zhao Ji took off his outer robe and lay on the soft bed with an extra hard pillow under his head.He asked Su Ye to massage and knead for him, and Su Ye did as he was told, pressing the acupuncture points on his head and neck, pushing them once and for all.

The room smells like ambergris and tea.Before Zhao Ji ordered her to help, Zeng showed mercy and ordered her to drink tea together, acting exactly like Fang Yingkan.She raised her cup and took a sip, praising that it was worthy of being a holy product of the Tianjia, put the teacup aside, and never touched it again.

She put in a lot of thought, of course she didn't want to be just the emperor's masseur.But Zhao Ji didn't speak, and she couldn't find anything to say, so she could only pay attention to his thinning hair and slightly thinner face.

Long Bayi sued Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji would not say nothing.He deliberately kept silent, intending to create a heavy and serious atmosphere, which made Su Ye uneasy, and he would answer every question later, not daring to tell lies.

At that time, under the instigation of Fu Zongshu, Longba regarded the three gods of Dakai Dahe as the sufferer and accused her of lawlessness.Cai Jing avoided suspicion, kept silent throughout the whole process, and sent Fu Zongshu to be another witness to confirm that what Lieutenant said was true.

When Zhao Ji heard this, he was half-believing and half-doubting, neither believing that the concubine or fairy-like woman would kill someone, but also feeling that Long Ba dared not lie to him.He couldn't figure it out, and consulted his neighbors, but Mi Cangqiong, Fang Yingkan, and Yiye all said in unison that it was not Su Ye's fault, it was all because of the bullying by the guards in the prime minister's mansion, and she gave him a lesson.They angered the killers, she tried her best to resist, and casualties were inevitable during the process, it was definitely not because she was warlike and bloodthirsty.

This happened to become Zhao Ji's favorite drama - as a Mingjun, he was discerning and assertive, reprimanding those who deceived the emperor, and cherishing those who were loyal to him.He laughed a few times, and decided to ask her personally, to give them an explanation, and let those people know that he was never easy to cheat.

Before making a question, he already had a conclusion in his heart, or in other words, he had a prejudice in his subconscious.Su Ye's appearance is too beautiful, like the narcissus in the warm pavilion, the white plum in the imperial garden become a fairy, his speech is extremely gentle, and his every move is extraordinary, how could he kill people casually?Most likely it was the red-faced burly man who saw that he doted on others, felt annoyed and deliberately provoked.

He thinks too simply, and thinks too much at the same time.He believes that it doesn't matter whether she kills or not. The important thing is to take this opportunity to "beat" her with kindness and power, to make her more sensible, and not to imitate Fu Zongshu's subordinates and always look for trouble outside.

With his eyes half closed, he felt relaxed all over his body, as if all the stagnant and stagnant places in his body were being slowly opened up, and he once again tasted the feeling of being as light as a swallow.This feeling was so comfortable that he enjoyed it for a full quarter of an hour before he remembered that he had something to do. He coughed lightly and said lightly, "Su Qing's family, have you ever killed someone?"

He thought he was unexpected, but he didn't know that Su Ye had been waiting and couldn't wait any longer.

She finally waited for his question, thinking that the emperor was not too stupid, she was stunned on purpose, and replied quietly: "People are in the Jianghu, and they can't help themselves. I don't want to hurt anyone's life, but...how can I?" To control the actions of others?"

The people she has killed are not many, but not many.But she deliberately controls, never willing to kill indiscriminately, the people she kills have something to kill.It stands to reason that she should hand them over to the government and deal with them according to the law. The problem is that once they report to the government, they are often taken away easily like Lu Shuyi, and after a few days, they reappear alive and kicking.

According to her temper, she really wanted to deny it flatly, and firmly refused to admit that she had committed murder.Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others can all become a generation of famous ministers, the mainstay of the Song Dynasty, why can't she be a fairy with no blood on her hands?

The reason why she readily accepted it was because it was the most convenient and most credible.When Zhao Ji saw her admit it frankly, he probably wouldn't jump up and curse you, a murderous felon, but was very satisfied, thinking that she had nothing to hide from him.

But he didn't order her to kill Cai Jing, she was somewhat disappointed, and when she spoke, her tone became more and more helpless.

She could squeeze Zhao Ji's head with a little force.With him in her hands, there is absolutely no possibility of escape.However, he always felt that everything was under control, and with a confident smile, he said angrily, "I thought the Qing family was different, but it turned out to be the same as those grassland people who regard human life as nothing."

Su Ye smiled and said, "I'm just a commoner girl, naturally a grasslander. If people want to kill me, should I be killed standing up? There is no mention of such a thing in the old Zhuang's book."

Zhao Ji raised his face and said seriously: "Do you know that your wealth and life are all in my mind? I asked someone to come in and send you to Kaifeng Mansion, where you will be detained and imprisoned. Are you afraid?"

If Su Ye's concentration was weak, he might have to use all his strength to hold back his head from being crushed.But she has seen everything and experienced everything, so she smiled slightly and said, "Don't be afraid."

Zhao Ji said: "Oh? Why?"

Su Ye said softly: "Because I believe that the officials are wise, wise, kind and generous, I wouldn't be sent to the officials for disposal because of such a trivial matter."

When Zhao Ji heard what he wanted to hear, he immediately laughed, and after he finished laughing, he sighed and said: "You people always feel that I grew up in the deep palace, and I am usually pampered and unkind, but there is something I don't know ? You disregard the king's law and fight and kill each other, that's fine, as long as you are loyal to me, I don't care about your nonsense."
