Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 510 The Crown Prince Rebelled?

The prince let them in, which was equivalent to having a small meeting.

These are the prince's people.

They often gather together to discuss matters on weekdays.

Among them, Wang Fu, Guo Feiming and others were all present.

There is also Shen Wei, the imperial historian.

The faces of Guo Feiming and the others were quite solemn, because when Wu Zhi went out to fight, they discussed in private that this war was at least a few months, and at most a year, so that the prince could preside over affairs in the court for a long time .

Best to hear that Moo-sik died in battle on the front line.

Or, even if the official family is gone, that would be a good result.

They are the prince's people, and the official family can take the position without the prince. They are all veterans supported by a group, and they will definitely be reused.

In short, the officials don't listen to them now, they just believe in Wu Zhi alone, so they can't let it go on like this.

However, no one thought that Xixia would soon be destroyed.

The Song army occupied Xixia, and when they heard the news, they couldn't accept it.

Also very panic!

Why?

Because they ran out of food for the front line during the winter.

The original intention was to contain Wu Zhi and prevent him from making military achievements, and also to let them die outside.After all, after all this coming and going, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back without food.

But now that winter has just entered, the Song army entered the Xixia Palace all the way and won!
Happened too fast.

Caught them off guard.

As a result, the effect of cutting off food has not come out, and the consequences are about to appear.

As a matter of fact, it is already a big treason for these old ministers to have such thoughts up to now!

This is no different from treason.

They didn't expect the Song Dynasty's army to win so quickly, and it was meaningless to run out of food.Because after occupying Xixia, the Song army can get food in Xixia.

Such behavior, on the contrary, reveals their intention to plot evil.

These people's faces are very dignified.

And it was Guo Feiming and a group of veterans who instigated the food shortage.

Guo Feiming, the leader, said that he would cut off the food, and the reason for instigation was that he was worried that Wu Zhi's achievements would be high in the future, and he intended to rebel and seize the Great Song Dynasty.

It is for the good of His Majesty, and also for the good of the crown prince!

Guo Feiming said that Wu Zhi had made too much contribution. If he were to capture Xixia, no one would be able to suppress him, so he had to cut off food. It would be best to let Wu Zhi die on the battlefield. Anyway, he could not win.

He also said that the official family went to Xixia this time because they believed Wu Zhi's slander.

If they don't do something, I'm afraid Wu Zhi's prestige will be even greater in the future, and Wu Zhi will rebel if they don't do it right.

Once Wu Zhi rebelled, they were finished.

They kept talking about this, blowing in Zhao Heng's ear, and when Zhao Heng got hot-headed, he really gave approval and delayed the front-line food.

The reasons and excuses for the lack of food were also found, that is, the transportation problem.

It is said that a group of bandits destroyed and intercepted a necessary road, so the food could not pass.

Their calculations are good, but Xixia has been captured, and the army is not short of food.

But this matter can't be dealt with.

At this moment, these veterans came here to discuss this matter.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that His Majesty and Wu Xiang know about our lack of food. Now that Xi Xia wins, they may come back at any time to accuse them!"

"Let Wu Zhi establish the credit, and he may be even more arrogant this time when he comes back!"

Zhao Heng gritted his teeth.

"The matter of cutting off the food has no effect, and the emperor will definitely ask the teacher to punish him when he comes back. What should we do!"

Zhao Heng also began to worry. It is not a trivial matter that the front line is fighting and the rear is running out of food.

If they do, they'll let it out, and the news should be known by now.

Zhao Heng was worried now, and then he asked: "How is the investigation of Wu Zhi's crime going?"

Wang Fu: "Your Highness, we cannot enter Wu Zhi's mansion, so it is not easy to frame him!"

"There is no Wu Zhi in the mansion, and this person has released so many guards. Also, his younger brother Wu Song is in the imperial army, and he is always paying attention. Last time we were going to search Wu Zhi's mansion, planning to frame him for treason! But Wu Song He led people to intercept and arrested many of us!"

Guo Feiming: "Wu Zhi arranged for defense in Bianjing, what a pity... If we are given enough time, we can replace all the people Wu Zhi arranged in the Bianjing army, but the time is too short!"

"Now, what should we do!" Zhao Heng was a little anxious.

Guo Feiming: "His Royal Highness, now Wu Zhi has become the most powerful official in the Song Dynasty, and now he has captured Xixia. He has made great contributions! Over the years, such officials will develop a disobedient heart and rebel! So what we did was right. !"

"If your majesty comes back to ask about the crime, we will insist that it is because of the road problem, not because of our deliberate lack of food!

If you really can't help it, His Highness can bluntly say that it is because you heard that Wu Zhi is going to rebel, so you made such a bad plan! "

In fact, Guo Feiming's rhetoric is full of loopholes.

In any case, their behavior is extremely presumptuous.

But Zhao Heng just listened.

Zhao Heng: "Teacher is right. Father listens to Wu Zhi in everything. If things go on like this, the Great Song Dynasty will change hands. In fact, I cut off their food to suppress Wu Zhi. It's just that Xixia has already Take it, we seem to have done a little too much."

At the same time, Wu Zhi and Song Huizong were in Xixia, and they were ready to pack their things and come back.

At this time, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, we have run out of food and grass in the Song Dynasty!"

Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty: "Is there a shortage of food? Now that Xixia has won the battle, there is no one blocking the delivery of food, and the Song Dynasty has plenty of food. How can there be no food?"

The visitor said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there were bandits and bandits on the road who destroyed the road that must be passed, which caused the food to be delayed on the road and not come!"

Song Huizong frowned: "I have traveled all the way, there are very few such roads that must be passed, and I have never heard of any bandits. This is false news!"

The visitor knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I dare not dare, this is the news from the spies, there is absolutely no mistake!"

"No food at this time?"

Song Huizong was not a fool, and immediately thought of the greatness of it: "This is thanks to the capture of Xixia. If it hadn't been captured, the two armies were still fighting at the moment. Suddenly, the Song Dynasty ran out of food, and our army would be defeated! One bad move will kill the whole army." The army was annihilated, or even starved to death, who instigated the prince to issue such an order?"

Song Huizong knew that there was no big problem with food delivery, and the robbery was even more of a joke.

The food delivery was carried out by an army, escorted by someone, and the largest robbers in the Song Dynasty either surrendered or were killed.

The imperial army is here, which bandit has such a skill?

Not only Song Huizong could think of it, but Wu Zhi could think of it even more.

This is probably an excuse.

Wu Zhi: "Your Majesty, there must be someone plotting something wrong behind the scenes, trying to harm me and make me lose the battle!"

"And they also found a very good reason. It's a road problem. If we lose at this time, we can't find them!"

Wu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately analyzed some problems, and then said: "Your Majesty, cutting off the food in the army is because some people hope that our army will be defeated, but cutting off your majesty's food is too much. They want to starve to death. It’s so good to seek power and usurp the throne!”

With Wu Zhi's words, Song Huizong's eyes were bloodshot when he said it on the spot.

too frightening.

How long did he come out, and someone started plotting to usurp the throne?
While this is all speculation, it's very possible.

Who is instigating the prince?To do such absurd things!

Song Huizong was very angry, and immediately returned to Bianjing with Wu Zhi.

And the prince Zhao Heng at this moment.

He couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and suddenly thought of something.

Guo Feiming kept saying that martial arts would harm the country and the people, and he would definitely seek power and usurp the throne in the future.It was their intention to prevent him from building military exploits, or even let him die in battle.

It's just that there is no food, and his father and emperor are among them!
What if the father is in danger?

Zhao Heng was instigated by Guo Feiming's gang of veterans, and felt something was wrong at the moment, so he found Guo Feiming in the middle of the night.

Guo Feiming hadn't woken up yet, but when he heard that the crown prince was looking for him and came to the door himself, he had no choice but to come out to greet him.

Zhao Heng: "Teacher, I have some doubts. Before we cut off food for the Great Song army, it seems that even the emperor's food was also cut off. It’s not quite in line with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust, it seems that I am disloyal and unfilial by doing so!”

Zhao Heng was very particular about these things. Before, Guo Feiming used this point to say that Wu Zhi was a traitor, and he had to get rid of him before the food would be cut off. Thinking about it now, it seemed that this move was not very filial, not in line with benevolence and righteousness, so he came to the teacher to clarify his doubts.

Instead, listen to what the teacher has to say.

Guo Feiming heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, no, we did this for the peace of the world, to prevent the Great Song and Xixia from going to war. Think about it, Your Highness, every time there is a war, which one is not bloody? What a burden and tax it brings!"

"And the military salaries consumed by the war, the silver expenditures are even more astonishing, it is not good for anyone, and if we run out of food, we will force them to come back, so we can't continue to fight, isn't that a good thing?

If that Wu Zhi is planted, His Highness will have no worries!
Furthermore, His Majesty listens to Wu Zhi in everything, in order to prevent the officials from becoming tyrants, this is no problem.

Although Xi Xia assassinated the Great Song Dynasty, His Highness thought about it, assassinated the Great Song Dynasty, and did not send troops to the Great Song Dynasty, so it is not necessary to fight. Now His Majesty is more and more fond of fighting, and if this continues, he will become a cruel tyrant. This is not only to check and balance Wu Zhi's rebellion in the future, but also to prevent our officials from becoming tyrants and to ensure peace in the world. Is this inconsistent? "

"Your Highness, don't worry, what you did was right!"

"In the future, if you ascend to the throne, you must be a generation of virtuous monarchs, and you will not cause war. This is the way we must go!"

In the final analysis, Zhao Heng was still too young. Where was this old fox's opponent, he dismissed him with a few words.

The crown prince nodded: "Taifu is very right, this is for the good of Song!"

The prince is relieved, and feels that he still needs to get closer to the teacher so that he can benefit a lot.

He is not unfilial like this, but it is precisely because of his filial piety that he does not want his father to become a tyrant, he only knows how to fight, and he does not want Wu Zhi to become bigger!

Push them back.

Of course, Zhao Heng thinks so. In fact, Guo Feiming and his group of veterans want to kill Wu Zhi outside. It is best for the two to die together. How to exonerate yourself.

The prince, Zhao Heng, wanted to kill Wu Zhi, but also wanted to preserve his benevolence and morality.

Hence this question.

Anyway, they didn't sleep well that night.

As for Song Huizong who was rushing back, he became more and more angry, and he didn't rest well.

Because it was his son's will to cut off food, is that okay?

He is fighting outside, and the crown prince is sitting in the court and running out of food. This... this is plotting rebellion, killing his father and usurping the throne! ! !

The consequences of running out of food can be light or heavy. The lightest thing is that if there is no food, you can rush back early, and the worst is a truce.

The serious thing is that if you are fighting and chasing the enemy, you will be killed by the enemy if you run out of food.

His official family will also die in this battle. In this way, the Prince Jian Guo who is in Bianjing can successfully succeed to the throne and become a new official family.

Both Wu Zhi and the officials died outside, so he won't be enthroned smoothly.

Song Huizong thought so, he felt that the prince would definitely rebel!This unfilial son! ! !

How dare he rebel!
