Chapter 798: He is the fish, I am the knife

Zhao Heng raised his eyes and looked at Li Bangyan with a suspicious look. He hated Zhao Kai, but at this critical moment, he said that the third prince could not stay. Wouldn't it be a waste of himself?

Zhao Kai is Zhao Ji's beloved son. Now Zhao Ji makes him Zhao Heng supervise the country, which is an encouraging thing, but if his elder brother is removed at this time, will he still have life?

Zhao Heng returned to his calmness and smiled faintly: "Li Sheren has something to say but it doesn't matter, why bother to beat around the bush?"

Li Bangyan took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said, "I don't mean to let Your Highness remove the third prince, but to let the third prince jump out by himself."

Zhao Heng frowned and said, "You keep talking."

Li Bangyan said: "At present, many Qinggui families in the city are ready to cross the south. The entire Bianjing knows about this matter that the Dukes of each family and the officials with disbanded positions will probably go to Quanzhou sooner or later."

Zhao Henghe nodded. He knew about this. The palace did not object. Even the King of Jin left. The family surnamed Chen also left with the King of Jin. Originally, his father was stranded in Quanzhou and did not return, which just gave many people the reason to cross the south. Now, no one or two lords and officials who were disbanded.

Li Bangyan continued: "It's just a pity that others can leave, but the royal family cannot leave. The ancestral system of the Song Dynasty has long stated that the royal family must not leave Bianjing half a step away from him unless he is summoned. Your Highness, I heard that many royal family members are so anxious that they become hot pot ants, right?"

Zhao Heng curled his lips and said, "This is true. The imperial edict only says that King Jin and others can leave. The rest have no special edicts and can only be trapped in Bianjing. Several of our royal brothers have also come to ask us to draw an edict to let them stay away from this place of trouble. But then again, this is done well, so naturally it means that my brother cares for his children. But if someone takes the blame, wouldn't it mean that this palace has violated the ancestral system?"

Li Bangyan smiled sly and said, "To eliminate the third prince, it depends on the ancestral system." He stroked his beard and said slowly: "Your Majesty has dozens of descendants, including seven princes, thirteen princes, and twenty-four princes. So many people, who do not have a mother in the palace? They are in a mixed manner, and stomping their feet in Bianjing, ensuring that the land will tremble. Now there are more and more people moving south, and the royal family is also in a hurry to leave, but it is precisely because of the ancestral system that there is no convenient for the different surnames. You can't walk away, and you can't stay or stay. Can Your Highness understand their current situation?"

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "If they can't leave, can I leave?"

Li Bangyan sighed and said, "I am talking about what they are most concerned about at this moment. If at this time, your highness suddenly issued an edict, saying that Bianjing is in danger and there are many omissions in defense in various places. The Jurchens can arrive at the city at any time to take care of the entire royal family and let everyone out of the capital, what will happen?"

Zhao Heng was full of unwillingness. He was the prince of the governor, so why did he stay here to take care of the relationship? They were in a disaster and each of them flew away?

Zhao Heng said with a blue and white face: "Li Sheren means..."

Li Bangyan said seriously: "Only everyone was eager to clean up the soft and go to Quanzhou to serve the emperor. He would also be grateful to His Highness for their protection. In this way, who can not be grateful to His Highness for their good for them? But..." Li Bangyan's eyes flashed, a hint of coldness flashed across, and he said coldly: "The Third Prince will never leave!"

Zhao Heng took a deep breath and understood something in an instant, saying, "I understand a little. Zhao Kai was determined to compete for favor with me and wanted to replace me. He was favored by his father and many ministers supported him. His reputation was also very good in the Qing Dynasty of the Shilin. If this was deposed, he was the most suitable candidate. It is precisely because of this that he could not leave. The palace stayed in the Bianjing governor, but he fled and ignored the country and the civil and military officials of the court. If he left, what would the civil and military officials of the court look at him? What would the Shilin officials look at him? What would the people look at him? Not to mention the empress dowager."

Li Bangyan smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this the best time to punish the Third Prince? As long as your highness's edict is released, if the Third Prince leaves, who will recognize him at this critical moment? Even if your Majesty is determined to be easy to sacrificial, the world's criticism will never let Your Majesty succeed. As long as he leaves Bianjing, he will never be able to compete with Your Majesty for the throne."

Zhao Heng unconsciously said, "Yes, what you said makes sense, but what if he doesn't leave?"

Li Bangyan smiled even more strangely, his eyes half open and half closed, and a ray of light burst out, saying, "If he doesn't leave, he must submit a memorial to explain the reason for not leaving. Of course, this reason is that as a prince and a nobleman, he should share the same ties with the clan and society and live and die with the country. But your Highness think about it, what would the other princes think if this memorial was handed over?"

Zhao Heng finally understood Li Bangyan's intentions, and he looked at Li Bangyan with a little more respect. From the beginning, this was a one-step dead end. If Zhao Kai left, Zhao Kai would never be a competitor of the Eastern Palace. But if Zhao Kai didn't leave, it would be not so easy to get out. Think about it, the royal family prepared their luggage happily, and the nobles in the palace also fell into a big stone in their hearts. At this time, someone stood up and said that he could not leave. He was the prince and had to take the responsibility of the prince. How could he go south in a hurry to survive?

What will happen at this time? If you shoot the first bird, why do you have the nerve to leave? If you don’t leave, you may have to explain your life and life here. But if you leave, you are the third prince, the prince, the nobleman of heaven, and want to live and die with the country. If you become a good person, everyone will be ridiculed. What is so great?

The final result is almost predictable. A prince offended the entire royal family, not only the nobles in the palace, but also many uncles and princes, but also many brothers and sisters. Even if Zhao Kai wins the hearts of the people, what can he do?

Li Bangyan smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, what I said about eliminating the third prince is not to kill the prince and fight with the same family, but to kill him and make him unable to retreat. From then on, he has no capital to compete with His Highness. No matter what choice the third prince makes, the final result will be like this."

Zhao Heng smiled and said repeatedly: "Li Sheren is right. This plan is very wonderful. I will issue an edict to see how Zhao Kai responds."

Li Bangyan took the teacup leisurely and drank it lightly, but he was thinking, today he was apart from your own brothers. Whether Shen Ao can get rid of it depends on you, the prince. If Yi*** ascends the throne and becomes emperor, can you lose the benefits of me?

At this time, Zhao Huan obeyed Li Bangyan's words, rubbed his hands excitedly, and immediately asked someone to issue an edict. The edict was issued on the same day, and this edict immediately attracted many applause from the royal family. For a moment, the royal palaces and the Duke's mansions had already begun to prepare for their luggage. Even the palace became very happy. Although the nobles could not move for the time being, each family had children? Of course, it would be better to be able to protect their bloodlines.

However, the third prince was surprisingly silent. Two days later, he finally handed over the memorial. As Li Bangyan expected, the memorial was all high-sounding words. In fact, if he wanted to refuse to go to Quanzhou, he could not find any other reason except to speak the truth with high-sounding reason.

It was this memorial that made the palace uneasy for a while. The third brother didn't leave, and everyone was not leaving, so many people became harsh and rumors were everywhere, and even the empress dowager could not help but hear some complaints.

The autumn is approaching in Bianjing City, and the leaves are falling yellow. The news about Penglai Port is the most eye-catching. These news are mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and has become a topic of discussion among the three religions and tribes of Bianjing. However, Penglai Port is different from Bianjing. This military port is now full of ships. The entire port is a water village that stretches for more than ten miles, standing on the sails, docks, and lighthouses. The sea breeze circling, and you can vaguely hear the sound of whimpering horns. The shouts from the huge waves of people sometimes suddenly ring, making the seagulls hovering in the sky rise and fall.

The Sanyang Navy, a total of 200,000 people, is now full. Fortunately, the Penglai Port has been built with huge amounts of money and cannot be accommodated. However, even so, the waterways are congested and material disorders are common. Fortunately, the navy's military discipline is strict and there is no chaos.

When the King of Pingxi arrived here, it was July 20th. Now three days have passed. The Sanyang Navy commanded the officials of various ship battalions and went to pay homage. Sometimes he listened to Shen Ao's words, sometimes he arranged exercises, and he was about to leave the port, and he didn't say much greeting. Even the familiar faced him was cold.

The navy said it was 200,000, but in fact, the actual battle was only 100,000. However, if so many people were going to go on an expedition, food and grass were naturally indispensable. Although there were enough preparations in Quanzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou. The latest hand crossbows, artillery, bows and arrows were all transported, but it was necessary to count them and make the sailors familiar with them, but it still took some time to adapt.

In addition, a large amount of fresh water and food had to be loaded on the ship, and it would be half a month later to go out to sea. Shen Ao lived in the Navy's Office and summoned and met officers from various departments day and night, either encouraged or scolded, and had to put on more than a dozen faces every day, so that the facial muscles became stiff.

At the same time, news from all over the country also fell on Shen Ao's case, what happened recently in Bianjing, what was the situation of the Qijin Mansion, and what did the emperor in Quanzhou have done recently, these actions have now been reported to Penglai with the fast horse news, allowing Shen Ao to make the most beneficial judgment for him.

When a piece of news about Bian Jing came, Shen Ao picked it up and took a brief look, suddenly smiled bitterly, and said to Zhou Heng, who was standing beside him: "The Third Prince is finished."

Zhou Heng was the official of the guard camp this time, and Zhou Heng was actually unhappy from the bottom of his heart. He yearned for the role of leading the team to charge. However, the military order was issued, so he had to wander around Shen Ao. When he heard Shen Ao suddenly mention the third prince, Zhou Heng said in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Shen Ao licked his mouth, and did not seem to regret the third prince. He just said calmly: "I fell into a trap and was surrounded by enemies. But..." Shen Ao put down the secret report and no longer paid too much attention to Bian Jing. Bian Jing was a muddy pool. Anyone who wanted to make trouble would do whatever he wanted, just don't bother him. Shen Ao finally added: "But it has nothing to do with us, we just care about the Jurchens."

Zhou Henghe nodded and said, "Your Highness, the latest military information of Qijin Mansion has been delivered. What news is there?"

Chen Ao smiled at him and said, "A good guard battalion officer, just keep your duty. You don't need to know these military information."

Zhou Heng's face was dull and he muttered a few words in a low voice.

Chen Ao said to himself: "Actually, I don't have much interest in seeing the military situation of the Liao people. Every time I am in a hurry, the city is about to be broken, but this city is not broken, and it is always undead, which makes people upset. There is no need to send such news in the future."

After hearing Chen Ao's complaint, Zhou Heng couldn't help but grin and said, "The Liao people probably want to urge us to start the army immediately. Your Highness, do you think we have put so much effort into saving them, isn't it worth it?"

"Cousin!" Chen Ao taught Zhou Heng a lesson in a very serious tone: "Friends and friendly countries are in chaos, and the Song Dynasty must save them in terms of emotion and reason. How can you discuss whether it is worth it? Let's go far away to save them, and after they have relieved them, with the hospitality of the Liao people, are you afraid that we will lose our benefits?"

Zhou Heng said in shock: "What if they don't give benefits?"

Chen Ao ignored him and picked up a book to read it. After a long time, he said leisurely: "He is fish, I am a knife and a knife. Whether to give it or not, it is not their turn to say the final word."
