"Second brother, how should we deal with this matter!" Shi Shouxin's face was calm. Even though he was dressed in casual clothes, his demeanor that could explode at any time still gave people a somewhat capable feeling.
Zhao Kuangyin stood quietly on the stone bridge, watching the slow flowing water. Although he was wearing a large wide-brimmed bamboo hat and only a round-neck casual suit, he still gave people a deep and ethereal feeling.
The emperor promoted himself to be the inspector in front of the palace, which originally seemed to be a good thing.
Because as the highest commander of the Imperial Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is already the most authoritative position in the Great Zhou Kingdom. What's more, the person who succeeded him as the commander in front of the palace was his sworn brother Shi Shouxin. It can be said that the imperial army around the emperor is now under his control.
But when he heard that Liu Guangyi was suddenly taken into custody by the emperor, although the imperial army did not make the slightest move, Zhao Kuangyin felt a little frightened. This was an instinctive reaction. Although he did not deliberately reveal his original intention, even Zhao Kuangyin among these brothers did not reveal his specific thoughts, but thinking of the longing in his heart, Zhao Kuangyin felt his palms sweating for the first time.
"Fourth brother, can you find out the reason?" Zhao Kuangyin tightened his grip on the fishing rod and seemed a little calm. When the ten brothers of Yishe became sworn brothers, they all said that we share joys and sorrows. Now that he heard that Liu Guangyi was under the custody of the emperor, as one of the brothers in Beijing, Shi Shouxin was naturally the first to know.
Because although the inspection is the highest position, there is no way to do these things personally. But Shi Shouxin, the newly appointed capital commander, actually has the most tasks. It was because of holding this position that Zhao Kuangyin went up and down inside and out and got to know many people in the court.
Everyone knows that Zhao Kuangyin is the emperor's confidant, so many people will deliberately move closer and flatter him. However, Zhao Kuangyin was loyal to the emperor, which made many people want to take his shortcut.
However, because his predecessors had checked the identity of Captain Zhang Yongde as a sensitive person, the position of Zhao Kuangyin also made many people take a breath. However, Zhao Kuangyin belonged to the direct line of the emperor, and his foundation was far less powerful than Zhang Yongde, so many people did not pay attention to Zhao Kuangyin. What's more, Zhao Kuangyin himself is respectful and puts the emperor first in almost everything, so he has an excellent reputation in the court.
"According to the report from the third brother, the seventh brother was thought to be in the house and captured by Princess Fu personally!" Shi Shouxin's face looked a little ugly. The third brother he was talking about was Wang Shenqi, the third sworn brother. . Wang Shenqi had always been Shi Shouxin's subordinate when they joined Taizu Guo Wei together. Even in the fifth year of Xian De's reign, Shi Shouxin was still his boss.
However, just a few days ago, when the emperor granted pardon, Wang Shenqi made an exception and became the chief minister in front of the palace. Although the second position of the Palace Chief is not comparable to Shi Shouxin's Commander-in-Chief, on the surface, he is a little higher than Shi Shouxin.
Shi Shouxin was not jealous of Wang Shenqi's promotion. As sworn brothers, this was a good thing. But when he saw Zhao Kuangyin at this time, Shi Shou suddenly felt a little uneasy. After all, the current emperor can be said to be wise and powerful, and a role model for passionate young people like them. Although the emperor may not necessarily know that these people are brothers, Shi Shouxin suddenly felt a chill down his back when he mentioned Princess Fu, whom the emperor trusted.
Because Li Jixun, the eldest among the ten brothers, was the first to be awarded the title of Sidu Yuhou in front of the palace. Later, when he was appointed as the military commander of the Zhaowu Army, Zhao Kuangyin, the tallest among the brothers, was appointed as the defense envoy of Yongzhou. But what is surprising is that during the emperor's northern expedition, the eldest brother Li Jixun was already under the second brother Zhao Kuangyin, and under the deployment of Zhao Kuangyin's waterway capital, he served as the commander and commander of the left wing.
Although the eldest brother's position was still higher than his own, Shi Shouxin faintly noticed something was wrong. The emperor obviously discovered something was wrong, otherwise why would he be the first to suppress the eldest brother, but then promote the second brother Zhao Kuangyin?
Looking at his second brother standing there as calm as a mountain, Shi Shouxin suddenly felt confused!
"Seventh brother has always been steady and has made great achievements in the bodyguard department. This time he was suddenly taken into custody by Princess Fu. Is it because he is very close to his eldest brother?" Although Shi Shouxin was talking to himself, he thought that Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor. A close confidant couldn't help but mused and said: "Second brother now holds an important position, and His Majesty also thinks highly of him. I hope he will not be affected by this matter!"
"My fourth brother is very worried. The world is in chaos now. Although Your Majesty has great ambitions, the world is constantly changing. I'm afraid that if His Majesty is slandered by traitors, it will really affect you and a few brothers from a certain family!" Zhao Kuangyin Although it was true and false with the brothers, thinking about the sudden changes now, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at Shi Shouxin: "Fourth brother needs to be more careful in the palace! Otherwise, how will the brothers be pulled down by others? I’m afraid I don’t even know!”
"This matter has not been sent by the seventh brother, and no eldest brother has heard anything from Jiezhen. This matter still needs your and third brother's attention in the palace! After all, a certain family has been in front of His Majesty for a long time and cannot tell the brothers face to face! "When he said this, Zhao Kuangyin's expression became calmer. Because he suddenly thought that although he had always been hypocritical and true, based on Emperor Guo Rong's experience, it was impossible not to be defenseless against people like him.
The greatest threat to his throne in the world was the Prince Consort Zhang Yongde. But he could tolerate Zhang Yongde being by his side all the time. It wasn't until he suddenly fell ill and returned to Beijing during the Northern Expedition that Zhang Yongde was truly removed from his post as the Imperial Guard!
It wasn't that he was afraid, but that he discovered Zhang Yongde's cleverness, and Zhang Yongde also understood what the emperor meant. But since there are rumors in this world, the emperor has to come out to solve them!
Check to be the emperor!
Zhao Kuangyin was suddenly shocked!
Since Zhang Yongde is no longer in danger, he is now the one to be inspected! Zhao Kuangyin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Looking at Shi Shouxin with a concerned look on his face, he understood instantly. It seemed that the emperor's reaction was great!
"Are all the monks in Xiangguo Temple imprisoned in the Tianlao?" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked something unrelated.
"Well, this matter has been confirmed. It is said that the monks of Xiangguo Temple suffered five or six injuries out of ten, and even those who were imprisoned in the sky prison have been banned!" Shi Shouxin was a little cautious. After all, this matter made a fuss, but the monks in Xiangguo Temple Whether people stay or go is not something that many people can know. When Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked about this matter, Shi Shouxin, who had not thought about it at first, suddenly thought of another rumor.
Because the world respects Zhao Kuangyin as a contemporary young hero and a famous hero in the world. Not only because of Zhao Kuangyin's heroism, but also because he created a set of "Nine Layers of Long Fist" himself. Everyone knows that Zhao Kuangyin is an expert in stick skills, but they don't know where Zhao Kuangyin learned from it. However, Shi Shouxin vaguely heard from his eldest brother that his second brother, Zhao Kuangyin, had been highly regarded by an eminent monk when he was a boy.
Looking at Zhao Kuangyin, although Shi Shouxin didn't say anything, he vaguely thought of the eminent monk Luhu Chengchu who was said to have passed away!
Seeing Shi Shouxin's thoughtful expression, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flashed with an imperceptible expression. Looking at this sworn brother, he suddenly felt that something was not what he wanted in his heart! But for his Shen family, naturally he wouldn't show the slightest bit of strangeness!
"Yeah! Although His Majesty didn't say much, there are still many followers of the Buddhist family in Tokyo city!" Zhao Kuangyin said eloquently, as if it had nothing to do with him. But then there was a hint of pity in his words: "Prince Wei's Mansion sent two groups of people to find a certain family! What he said was the princess's admiration for him!"
Seeing Shi Shouxin's confused look, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The current identity of King Wei naturally needs no introduction. There is no one comparable to him since ancient times. However, His Majesty tactfully avoided the princess's request and even granted him another title. The queen appeases her! But this princess is really devoted to the Buddha, and she actually sends people to a certain family repeatedly, hoping for a breakthrough!"
"I think this noble man is really a fool!" Shi Shouxin also sighed with emotion. Seeing the straight fishing line in Zhao Kuangyin's hand, he smiled and said: "Second brother, the fish is hooked!"
"Oh! Indeed, the fish really took the bait!" He shook the fishing rod casually, and the tip of the rod seemed to shake straight, and the fishing line tightened instantly. Then I saw a red fish scurrying around in the water, but it could no longer break free from the hook. As it emerged from the water, it turned out to be a big golden carp, which looked like it weighed five or six pounds: "What a koi carp!"
"Yes! Second brother is really lucky to have such a big koi!" Shi Shou's confidence suddenly trembled slightly, and he looked at the koi being picked up with a smile.
"Indeed, it's been a long time since I got together with my brothers, but this big koi really doesn't dare to invite my brothers to share it with us! Nowadays, the capital is in trouble, and the emperor hasn't shown up for a long time. I'm afraid everyone should be a little more cautious. Here!" Zhao Kuangyin's voice was calm, and with a flick of the fishing line, the big koi actually went straight into the fish basket next to it.
"There will be a chance. The second brother's identity is very sensitive now, and all the brothers have to take care of it! I don't want to be like the eldest brother. I hope that my brother will be more stable in this city of Tokyo, so that the brothers can have something to look forward to!" Shi Shouxin seemed to have no intention of saying, But he also smiled: "Only when the brothers are at ease, those brothers will have a way out in the future!"
"What the fourth brother said is absolutely true! The seventh brother can only calm down a little bit now. Wait until a certain family enters the palace and see if His Majesty will have any instructions. As long as there is a little word, a certain family will definitely want to I will try my best not to let my seventh brother suffer any injustice!" Zhao Kuangyin threw his fishhook into the water again, but it seemed that the water surface suddenly rippled little by little, and it actually started to rain.
Looking at Shi Shouxin's leaving figure, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly thought quietly, it turns out that in this world, it is not easy to find a confidant in a sea of people. But when you find someone who can understand you, you still worry about gains and losses. Will the other person pose a threat to you after knowing your thoughts?
Shi Shouxin is obviously a smart man, he has obviously thought of something!
