Wang Hai woke up the dreamer with one word and saw through the essence of the matter.
Han You sat on the steps with a thoughtful look on his face.
Yes, Zhao Tai did say just now that what Zhao Xiong did had nothing to do with him, and he had no control over Zhao Xiong.
However, they did not say that they had completely severed all ties with the Zhao family and were no longer related to Zhao Xiong.
Zhao Tai's original words were that I had almost fallen out with the Zhao family, and I had no control over what Zhao Xiong did.
Two key words, almost falling out, and what is beyond my control.
Almost falling out, not completely falling out.
It's not my concern, and whether Zhao Xiong is dead or alive has nothing to do with him.
The whole thing makes sense. Han You has been invincible since his debut. Of course, if he loses even once, he can't continue to live and breathe.
There is one thing that Han You doesn't want to admit, but almost everyone thinks so. Han You is a person who must retaliate, no matter who he offends or who provokes him.
Everyone in Beijing knew that Han You wanted to mess with Zhu Long, making it difficult for Zhu Long to move forward in Beijing.
Ma Rulong disappeared, and the military rations and salaries in the north were embezzled. The two things combined made many aristocratic families and courtiers who had relied on the Zhu family or were from the local area choose to wait and see and choose to protect themselves wisely. This also led to the influence of the Zhu family in Beijing. The strength was not as strong as before, which led to everyone being willing to betray Han You to save face rather than "take in" Zhu Long and draw a clear line with the Zhu family.
It was said that he was selling Han You to save face, but in fact it was still the same sentence. He knew that Han You would retaliate.
Since it is inevitable to retaliate, the whole capital will give face to Han You, but Zhao Xiong will not give it, then one can imagine what will happen next, Han You will target Zhao Xiong.
This is obviously not what Zhao Tai wants to see. At this juncture, he is about to aspire for the position of Minister of the Three Provinces. He cannot bear this risk.
In theory, there is no possibility of victory for Han You against Zhao Xiong.
In theory, there is no possibility of victory for Zhao Xiong against Han You.
Because this is Beijing, the leader in Beijing is not any aristocratic family, but the emperor.
Han You is the emperor's personal soldier, and Zhao Xiong is the second-in-command of the Zhao family. If one of them makes trouble and Han You kills Zhao Xiong in some way, the Zhao family will not have to deal with Han You, but the entire dynasty. The emperor will not Will sit back and do nothing.
So if Zhao Xiong killed Han You in some way, the emperor would not sit idly by and do nothing, and would definitely find ways to eradicate the Zhao family.
Standing in Zhao Tai's position, and at such a critical juncture, how could he watch the two of them fight? As long as they fought, no matter what the outcome was, it would affect Zhao Tai, and Zhao Tai's bid for the position of the Minister of the Three Provinces.
In fact, this five hundred thousand yuan has little to do with Wang Hai. It is money to "buy face", to buy Han You's face.
To put it simply, I will give you five hundred thousand yuan, and you will step back, lose some face, and give Zhao Tai some face. It is not that the Zhao family has money, but that Han You's face is valuable.
The whole capital ignored Zhu Long, but Zhao Xiong stood up. This was undoubtedly a slap in Han You's face. Han You had to get back the situation for whatever reason, otherwise he would be bullied and afraid of the strong. With his reputation, if others take Zhu Long in, he dares to do anything. Zhao Xiong takes Zhu Long in, but he doesn't even dare to let go.
As long as he collects these fifty coins, Han You will cease his activities. This is the so-called "face-buying" money.
"Zhao Tai, Zhao Tai."
Han You's face became more and more gloomy: "No wonder he has been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for so many years. He is not a good man and a woman of faith."
Issues at this level are no longer something Lu Baichuan and Jiang Zhui can consider and understand. Only Wang Hai can see the twists and turns.
"If the young master can't swallow this breath, I will send these five hundred thousand coins back to the Zhao Mansion."
"No."
Han You shook his head: "This is the cleverness of Zhao Tai. He did not give this money to me, but to the greedy master in the palace."
Wang Hai suddenly realized.
How could Zhao Tai not know that the palace was short of money, and how could he not know that the emperor was in urgent need of money. With such a large sum of money, whether Han You informed the emperor or not, Zhao Tai was like an insurance policy.
If Han You really gets into a fight with Zhao Xiong, and the emperor angers Zhao Tai, Zhao Tai will tell the truth about the 500,000 yuan, and he will hand over all the "money". Who is to blame if Han You is ignorant.
This is under the premise that Han You did not tell the emperor about the five hundred thousand yuan. If Han You did, there would be no need to worry. The emperor would definitely get a share of the money when he saw so much money. Now that he has divided the money, He will also definitely stop Han You from touching Zhao Xiong.
Lu Baichuan also gradually understood what was going on. He pointed at Jiang Zhui and cursed: "Don't you fucking want to take on this position of commander. You dare to accept any money. It will only cause disaster and make Shao Yin embarrassed. I will be in trouble soon." Enter the palace to ask for orders, I will be the commander in the future, you can become a fucking soldier, you idiot who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!"
Jiang Zhui rarely refuted, lowering his head as if admitting his mistake. He also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Han You shook his head: "It's useless. If Zhao Tai wants to hand over these five hundred thousand Guan, he can hand it over no matter what. Even if I don't accept it, he will send it to the palace and ask Your Majesty to hand it over to me in the name of giving it to me." , when the money reaches His Majesty, it is like a female knight falling into the goblin lair, with no return, so you might as well just let me collect it."
"I was wrong." Jiang Zhui lowered his head, feeling extremely guilty: "Sergeant Ben will ask you for instructions on everything from now on."
Han You didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I was confused when I saw a package of banknotes. Don't listen to Da Chuan'er's nonsense. You have done a good job as a commander."
Lu Baichuan didn't know what he muttered. Han You was such a person and could never anger his true "partner".
Han You has not forgotten, nor will he forget, that night when the Southern Assassins were on the official road outside the villa, not only Wang Hai, not only Lu Baichuan, but also Jiang Zhui, that kind of determination that was not afraid of death, that kind of determination to die. Unrepentant loyalty is an emotion that Han You, who has lived in two lifetimes, treasures extremely much and regards it as the most precious asset in life.
Although it is a troublesome matter, it is nothing compared to the friendship of life and death in adversity.
"Let's make a time difference."
Han You stood up and said, "Immediately go to Zhuangzi outside the city and get Zhulong."
Lu Baichuan couldn't help but said: "But this money is in your hands, and you don't know what kind of virtue the emperor is, isn't this..."
"So I said this is a time difference. I will definitely not be able to find trouble with Zhao Xiong, but I will definitely not let Zhu Long go."
"Actually, that old dog is just a withered bone in the grave."
Lu Baichuan hesitated and continued, "Your Majesty hasn't said anything yet, so you don't need to..."
"This is why I am the emperor's personal army. The emperor's personal army can represent His Majesty's will. After the will is wrong, the emperor can correct it in time. But before correcting it, we must represent this will to tell the people in Beijing, Tell the people of the world that this is the capital, at the feet of the emperor. No one can act arbitrarily except the emperor. No one can harm the people and the army of Zhou Dynasty and still be safe and secure under the nose of the emperor. Zhao Xiong No, not even Zhu Long."
After finishing speaking, Han You looked at Lu Baichuan and asked with a smile: "Do you think His Majesty wants Zhu Long to die?"
"think."
"Then why doesn't Your Majesty let me kill him?"
"Because His Majesty is the Emperor."
"Then do you know how bad it feels to hate someone so much but not be able to kill him?"
Lu Baichuan nodded heavily: "I know."
"So we are the emperor's personal soldiers, so we feel the same way to some extent, so we do Zhulong for His Majesty's sake."
Lu Baichuan's eyes were dark: "What if you are not the Emperor's personal soldier?"
"We will also engage in Zhu Long, because we are not only doing it for His Majesty, but also for ourselves."
After finishing speaking, Han You asked: "If you were not a member of the emperor's army and could kill Zhu Long, would you do it?"
"meeting."
"Bingo, so we're kindred spirits."
