When Zhao Yuanxi's first batch of horses arrived at the border of Song and Liao, the other three people actually knew about it. But problems also arose. Two of the three wanted to use this matter to make some articles.

.

Zhao Guangyi's reaction after learning about this incident was anger and sadness. He did not expect that the son he had tried so hard to protect would actually stab him in the end. Once the Liao Kingdom's Xizuo followed the horses, he would learn everything about the north in detail.

In this way, if the Liao Kingdom launches another war against the Song Dynasty and reaches the territory of the Song Dynasty, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

However, Zhao Guangyi could only deal with this matter quietly, because once the matter was exposed, not only would Zhao Yuanxi not be able to avenge his life, but the royal family would also lose face.

But the other two people don't think so. Zhao Weiji, who is determined to plunge Zhao Yuanxi into an abyss of eternal destruction, is only worried about how much intelligence the Khitans will get on the Song Dynasty border through this incident. As for the royal family's face issue, that is by no means

He had to consider something. Because he was a modern man at heart, he didn't have much gratitude for his status as a royal family. On the contrary, this status placed quite a lot of restrictions on him.

Another person, Zhao Heng, has a more complicated view on this matter. On the one hand, he hopes to use this matter to completely remove Zhao Yuanxi from power. After all, although he has real power now, he has no real name. As long as he cannot sit on the throne for a day,

As a prince, you cannot rest assured for a day, after all, the nights are long and there are many dreams.

But on the other hand, Zhao Heng also hopes that this matter can be resolved safely, after all, it is related to the glory of the royal family.

In this way, there are conflicts between the three people, but they all have common interests. The paradox is that Zhao Weiji wants Zhao Yuanxi to die, but Zhao Guangyi wants to save Zhao Yuanxi's life, and Zhao Heng also doesn't want Zhao Yuanxi to be safe and sound.

He stepped down. The point of convergence of interests was that none of the three people here wanted Liao to gain anything from this matter.

In this way, a new round of political game was born.

First of all, the matter of smuggling horses was quickly strangled at the border. Zhao Weiji ordered the beggar gang to put croton in the horses' diet. The horses were unable to move forward normally, which delayed the Liao Kingdom's detailed operations.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Heng's people arrived, and his people detained the horses on the pretext of anti-smuggling, and ignored any so-called legal procedures detailed by the Liao State.

But just when Zhao Heng hoped to bring Liao's work back to the capital together with the horses, he encountered robbers on the road.

This group of robbers were disguised as the Forbidden Army under Zhao Guangyi, in order to bring the secrets back to the capital, hoping to have the greatest evidence in their hands.

Of course, at this point in the matter, Zhao Guangyi is the one who has played the best game. As long as he can do it carefully, there will be no evidence for other accusations that may pose a threat to Zhao Yuanxi. At that time, he will find other excuses to remove Zhao Yuanxi from the title of Crown Prince.

If you take off your seat and put me under house arrest, the matter will be over.

But although he had good ideas, another person would not let him be so satisfied. This person was Zhao Weiji. Because Zhao Weiji already had another piece of evidence in his hands at this time, a piece of evidence that was more terrifying than the details of the Liao Kingdom.

Just when Zhao Heng was having a headache and only brought back some broken horses with diarrhea, an anonymous letter was delivered to Prince Xiang's Mansion. The letter recorded in detail some of the various illegal transactions that Zhao Yuanxi had conducted over the years, including those with party nobles.

With Khitan.

"Don't wonder who I am, and don't wonder where I got this thing from. If you want the royal family to avoid the greatest loss, then agree to my two requests. First: Zhao Yuanxi must not survive. Secondly, no

Let the officials know about our transactions. If you agree to these two requests of mine, hang up two red lanterns outside Prince Xiang's Mansion before midnight tomorrow, and all the ledgers will be in your hands in a few days.

"

If Zhao Guangyi sees this letter, he will definitely guess that the person behind the scenes is Zhao Weiji. However, Zhao Heng does not know about this because Zhao Heng was not in Beijing when the incident happened. After the incident, the whole incident

The matter was quickly silenced by Zhao Guangyi. Therefore, Zhao Heng did not know that the person who wanted Zhao Yuanxi's life was Zhao Weiji.

At this time, Zhao Heng was in trouble. What was before him was definitely an excellent opportunity, because after losing the Liao Kingdom, this was the only possibility that he could bring down Zhao Yuanxi immediately. But the other party's requirements were a bit overwhelming.

It was not easy for him to accept, and the other party asked Zhao Yuanxi to die.

It's not that Zhao Heng couldn't bear to leave Zhao Yuanxi. At this point, the so-called brotherhood was already nonsense. But Zhao Heng couldn't raise this matter with Zhao Guangyi because he wanted to resolve the matter without damaging the face of the Song Dynasty royal family.

The only way is for Zhao Heng to go to Zhao Guangyi and force Zhao Guangyi to abolish Zhao Yuanxi through transactions after getting the complete account book. However, Zhao Heng can only ask for abolishment at most, but cannot ask Zhao Yuanxi to die.

Zhao Heng knows where Zhao Guangyi's bottom line is. Zhao Guangyi is still carrying the blame for killing his brother and usurping the throne. He cannot hope that his son will kill his brother for the throne of the emperor. If this is true, Zhao Heng believes in his prince.

His position will not last long, after all, he still has a younger brother.

In fact, Zhao Weiji did not want to cause trouble to Zhao Heng in this way, but if Zhao Weiji made the account books public or directly obtained them from Zhao Guangyi, there would only be two results. If Zhao Yuanxi was asked to die, Zhao Guangyi could deduce his own existence from it. If

If you want to eliminate your own sense of existence, you cannot ask for Zhao Yuanxi to die.

No matter which aspect Zhao Weiji was unwilling to accept, he thought of Zhao Heng when he was in a dilemma. Zhao Weiji knew that Zhao Heng didn't know much about the assassination. So he decided to take advantage of Zhao Heng. Since you want to sit on the throne of the crown prince,

Sir, then please worry about this matter.

As for whether Zhao Heng would agree to Zhao Weiji's request but not carry out the request, Zhao Weiji had not considered it, but he was not afraid. Because even if Zhao Yuanxi survived, Zhao Weiji would have assassinated him.

Get rid of this person by any means. At that time, the biggest suspect in Zhao Guangyi's eyes will only be Zhao Heng, not Zhao Weiji. Because Zhao Guangyi will understand that you are not satisfied with Zhao Heng personally bringing down Zhao Yuanxi, so you must put him to death to feel at ease.

.

Zhao Heng also thought of this. He had considered the double-dealing approach from the beginning, but later had to give up this approach, because when he asked Zhang Zhibai, Zhang Zhibai said this:

"If the King of Luoyang suddenly dies after you ascend to the position of crown prince, what will the officials think?"

Yes, if the other party directly kills Zhao Yuanxi secretly after I ascend the throne of the crown prince through this method, the biggest suspect that my father will only suspect is himself.

So instead of doing this, it is better to think of a way to kill Zhao Yuanxi without making his father disgusted and without worries.

But what to do?

Everything Zhao Yuanxi has done during this period has touched Zhao Guangyi's bottom line countless times, but because of his guilt for the Yin family, Zhao Guangyi has never done anything to Zhao Yuanxi. How can Zhao Guangyi make up his mind to execute Zhao Yuanxi at this time?

is a key.

Although Zhao Heng couldn't think of how to make Zhao Guangyi decide to execute Zhao Yuanxi on his own, he couldn't miss the opportunity and decided to get the account books now.

So that night, two red lanterns were hung at the door of Prince Xiang's Mansion. On the tenth day after the lanterns were hung up, the account books came into Zhao Heng's hands, along with the method of interpreting them.

This account book had always been well hidden by Zhao Yuanxi, but one time Zhao Yuanxi drank too much, and when he was looking through the account book, it was seen by the spy Zhao Weiji had planted beside him. When Zhao Weiji knew this time that the secret work of the Liao Kingdom was being

After the kidnapping, he immediately understood that this was Zhao Guangyi's attempt to retaliate against Zhao Yuanxi. So he sent someone to steal the account book from Zhao Yuanxi's palace based on the information provided by the original spy.

When they first saw the account book, Zhao Weiji and his staff did not see the reason, because the account book was written in a password. However, as Zhao Weiji looked carefully, Zhao Weiji found that the password in the account book was easily used by Zhao Weiji.

Cracked.

In fact, the password is very simple, that is, the numbers recorded on the odd-numbered pages are used to correspond to the order of the words in the articles written on the even-numbered pages. As long as they are matched one by one, the contents of the entire account book can be easily deciphered.

When Zhao Heng interpreted the entire account book based on the interpretation method provided by Zhao Weiji, Zhao Heng knew that as long as this account book was handed over to Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Yuanxi would die.

The contents recorded in the account books are really too shocking. Most of the officials in the DPRK had an affair with Zhao Yuanxi, and the amount of transactions between Zhao Yuanxi, Zhao Pu and Dangxiang was so huge that even Zhao Heng could not believe it. The reason why they were not in the Central Plains

The traces of these batches of horses were found because Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Pu did not trade many horses in the Central Plains at all, but sold most of the horses to Jiaozhi.

One of the important reasons why Jiaozhi was unable to be taken back by force was that cavalry suddenly appeared in Jiaozhi. This group of cavalry appeared out of nowhere and caused a lot of trouble to the Song army.

Zhao Heng knew that Zhao Yuanxi would not survive just because of this. But why could Zhao Heng see these secrets, but Zhao Weiji could not? Because Zhao Weiji had not traveled through time when Jiaozhi read, and the Zhao Weiji at that time was still the genuine Zhao Weiji.

After Zhao Ji traveled through time and occupied Zhao Weiji's body, Jiaozhi was already able to read. However, Zhao Weiji's main thoughts were on the Khitan and Liao Kingdoms in the north, so he did not pay too much attention to Southeast Asia.

When Zhao Heng decided to rely on the account books to start taking action, Zhao Weiji had no intention of taking care of the capital anymore because Wang Dayuan came back and brought back a special guest.
