Zhao Yun was already suspicious, and his trust in Shi Miyuan was crumbling.
Zheng Qingzhi's words made Zhao Yun think even more.
At this time, Zhao Yun's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth, "Could it be that he has arranged an informant around me to monitor my every move?"
Thinking about the time when Shi Miyuan arranged an informant around Prince Ning Zong, and after learning that Prince Ning Zong was dissatisfied with him, he made him emperor, Zhao Yun suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
Zhao Yun's expression was gloomy. He looked at the two of them and said, "What the two dear friends just said is true. Do you dare to confront Shi Miyuan?"
Zheng Qingzhi's Adam's apple twitched and he saluted, "Everything I said is true. Your Majesty can question the prime minister!"
"Okay!" Zhao Yun immediately said to the chamberlain: "Let Shi Xiang come in."
Shi Miyuan led his subordinates into the study. Zhao Yun's face turned darker when he saw so many people coming in and the study became crowded.
At this time, Shi Miyuan did not notice the emperor's expression. When he saw Zheng Qingzhi and Zhao Tai standing in front of Zhao Yun, he snorted coldly before leading his subordinates to salute Zhao Yun, "I will pay my respects to the official."
Zhao Yun collected his emotions and just nodded and said: "No courtesy!"
Shi Miyuan took the lead in thanking him, and then stood in the study room with everyone else.
At this time, he winked at Li Zhixiao, who immediately went out to work, "Your Majesty, I want to participate in the political affairs of Zheng Qingzhi. .”
On the way here, several people had already agreed to rake the water and muddy the water first.
Zhao Yun had already preconceived the idea. After hearing Li Zhixiao's words, a ball of unknown anger suddenly rose in his heart, but he endured it and said coldly: "I'm afraid Li Aiqing has misunderstood. Guorui, tell Li Qing your true identity." .”
Zhao Tai immediately came out of the queue and said loudly: "Xiangong Shi, gentlemen, Xianguan is actually the official of the Lianghuai system, Zhao Xianggong, sent to the Kingdom of Jin. In addition, Xianguan is the eighth grandson of King Qin, how can he harm your majesty? ?”
Shi Miyuan was stunned. He knew that Zhao Tai was from the clan, but he didn't expect that he was actually a spy sent to the Kingdom of Jin by Zhao Fan.
Zhao Tai had so many superimposed states, which made the rhetoric he prepared on the way useless.
After Zhao Tai met Zhao Fan, Zhao Fan did ask Zhao Tai to be a spy for the Song Dynasty and provide him with information about the Jin Kingdom. Zhao Tai just advanced the time to become a spy for the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Fan was the envoy of the Lianghuai system, and Shi Miyuan was the most I asked him not to be arrested for interrogation, so Zhao Tai was not worried about his lies being exposed.
Shi Miyuan didn't say anything. Li Zhixiao was stunned for a moment, but he jumped over the wall and continued to question, "Your Majesty, I have never heard of a descendant of King Qin named Zhao Tai. I suspect that his identity is false, and I ask your Majesty to investigate. "
When he said this, Zhao Yun was also a little confused. He knew a little about the descendants of King Qin, and there was indeed no such person as Zhao Tai.
Zhao Tai explained: "This gentleman is not clear about it, and it is understandable. During the Jingkang Incident, my great-grandfather Zhao Ji was kidnapped to Yandi, and he gave birth to my grandfather Zhao Hui, who gave birth to my father Zhao Hong, who gave birth to me. Zhao Tai. Our family was stranded in the Jin Kingdom. When the Mongols invaded the south, we moved south to cause trouble. If you don't believe me, you can check the Zhao family genealogy."
Zhao Yun waved his hand, and a servant fetched the genealogy. Sure enough, there was such a branch left in the north.
Zhao Tai didn't want Shi Miyuan and others to focus on him, so he immediately took the initiative and said, "My lord, it doesn't matter whether the official is a member of the clan or not. Today, the official came to see your majesty because he wanted to ask the Jin Kingdom Why didn't Prime Minister Shi report the mission to His Majesty when he sent a mission to the Song Dynasty? Why did Prime Minister Shi deceive His Majesty?"
Zhao Yun also had a dark face, "Shi Xiang, please explain to me why you kept such a big thing from me?"
"This..." Shi Miyuan was speechless for a moment, but as an old husband who has been in power for more than 20 years, he has rich experience in fighting. After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately confessed and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I did not report in time. It was indeed my mistake! However, I did not allow the Jin envoys to enter for the sake of the Song Dynasty. I thought that there was nothing good to do with an envoy whose country was about to be destroyed, not to mention that they would offend Mongolia, so I refused directly. Although in recent years, His Majesty's State Affairs I have always let me handle it, but I have indeed made my own decision. I am willing to accept your majesty’s punishment!”
Shi Miyuan paused, looked at Zhao Yun, and continued: "However, if your Majesty asks me now, I will still stick to my opinion and believe that your Majesty cannot see the Jin envoy, so as not to anger the Mongols!"
His answer turned why he concealed the Jin envoy into a discussion about whether he should meet the Jin envoy. At the same time, he brought in the Mongols, which made Zhao Yun feel that he should not meet Zhao Tai.
After hearing this, Zhao Yun was indeed led astray. Shi Miyuan seized the opportunity, glared at Zheng Qingzhi and Zhao Tai fiercely, and launched a counterattack. He directly reprimanded: "The truth doesn't matter whether you are a spy sent by Zhao Fan, the truth is only I know, your current identity is the Golden Envoy! Zheng Shenzheng, you brought the Golden Envoy to meet His Majesty, let the Mongols know, angered them and triggered a war, can you be responsible? "
Zheng Qingzhi was a little flustered when he said this, and Zhao Tai was also surprised. Shi Miyuan was worthy of being a powerful minister who had been in power for more than 20 years. His aura, ability to confuse right and wrong, and hit the wrong side of things were not comparable to ordinary people.
He and Zheng Qingzhi spent a lot of effort to make Zhao Yun suspicious of Shi Miyuan, and Shi Miyuan portrayed himself as a responsible veteran in a few words, but they turned out to be ignorant people who threatened the safety of the imperial court. Even the emperor seemed to have made a mistake.
Seeing that the situation was about to reverse, Zheng Qingzhi had nothing to say, and Zhao Tai immediately came to the rescue, "Shi Xiang's words are really ridiculous. The world of the Song Dynasty belongs to His Majesty. Does Shi Xiang think that he is more sage than His Majesty?" "
"You!" Shi Miyuan quickly saluted Zhao Yun, "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, I have no such intention!"
Zhao Yun's thoughts were pulled back by Zhao Tai, and he said nothing with a dark face.
Shi Miyuan's tone just now made even Zhao Yun blame him, as if he blamed Zhao Yun for not meeting Zhao Tai.
This made Zhao Yun feel uncomfortable, feeling that Shi Miyuan was accusing him of being brainless.
Zhao Tai continued to question: "What the Prime Minister has to do as a minister should be to report to His Majesty and provide advice to His Majesty, rather than to hide from His Majesty and make decisions for His Majesty!"
Zhao Tai was young, full of energy, and his voice was as loud as a bell, and his words also spoke to Zhao Yun's heart.
"Your Majesty!" Shi Miyuan noticed the change in Zhao Yun's expression, and he finally panicked.
However, Zhao Tai did not give him a chance and continued to question: "Furthermore, it is nonsense to think that meeting the Jin envoy will anger the Mongols! Xiaguan and Zheng Xianggong entered the palace secretly. How could the Mongols know about it, unless there was a spy who tipped them off? .”
Having said this, Zhao Tai glanced at Zhao Yun, while Zhao Yun looked at Shi Miyuan and his party, and then at the chamberlain beside him.
He thought that Shi Miyuan must have had spies in the palace because he came so quickly.
"Besides, even if the Mongols knew about it, it would do more good than harm to us, the Song Dynasty. This time, Mongolia took the initiative to ask for alliance. It was because Mongolia wanted something from us, the Song Dynasty, and Shi Xiang sold it without waiting for a price, so as to get more for the Song Dynasty. What's the point of trying to please the Mongols by not allowing Jin envoys to enter the country when they have so many interests?" Zhao Tai asked loudly, his combat power exploding.
After hearing Zhao Tai's words, Zhao Yun's dissatisfaction with Shi Miyuan was finally aroused. It was clear that Shi Miyuan did something wrong and was not thoughtful, but he thought he was right and blamed him.
This made his emperor's dignity trampled on. Zhao Yun recalled what Zheng Qingzhi said and asked coldly: "Prime Minister, I heard Zheng Qing say that you often speak to people around you, and you have the power to recover. You can't do it today." Saint Xihuang, is this possible?"
"Nonsense!" Shi Miyuan looked at Zheng Qingzhi in astonishment, with a look of horror in his eyes. He did not expect Zheng Qingzhi to be so vicious. In panic, he roared and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, Zheng Qingzhi is talking nonsense and slandering me! How could I say that? If you don’t believe them when they say such words, your Majesty can ask them!”
