"Majesty Kang, Minister Tong, Yang Zaixing and I are irreconcilable enemies. We must exterminate Yang Zaixing and the five thousand rebel soldiers of the Dragon Martial Army!
There are still 35,000 soldiers in the top four armies. I will transfer all of them to surround Yang Zaixing. I wonder if you two are willing to lend me your troops!”
Gao Qiu, whose eyes were bloodshot, spoke in a hoarse voice from King Kang's Imperial Residence.
When he mentioned Yang Zaixing, his eyes were filled with hatred, as if he was a demon that had crawled out of hell. He had almost completely lost his mind.
Zhao Gou and Tong Guan looked at each other with a troubled expression.
They knew that Gao Qiu wanted to kill Yang Zaixing. However, to them, privately mobilizing troops to encircle Yang Zaixing was undoubtedly the worst option.
Not to mention that Yang Zaixing had ten thousand men under him, just his bravery alone was enough to make one's heart palpitate.
It was too risky for them to send troops to help Gao Qiu eliminate Yang Zaixing.
It would be fine if they succeeded, but once Yang Zaixing died, Emperor Zhao Heng could only accept it. He would not be able to do anything to the three generals who controlled a large number of troops.
However, if Yang Zaixing escaped, they would only need to submit a memorial to the court to be convicted of privately mobilizing the army.
Zhao Heng would also take away their military power and hand it over to Yang Zaixing!
Therefore, the old fox Tong Guan and the scheming little fox Zhao Gou were unwilling to take the risk with Gao Qiu.
Zhao Gou's expression darkened as he put on a heavy expression and said,"This Prince is also deeply saddened by Young Master Gao's death.
However, sending troops to encircle Yang Zaixing was the worst plan.
Yang Zaixing had killed thousands of brave Jin soldiers and even took the head of the commander Wanyan Zonghan.
Even the most elite troops under our command are no match for the Jin soldiers, so how can we take down Yang Zaixing?
If Yang Zaixing manages to escape, we'll be the ones who secretly mobilized the army and murdered the general.
His Majesty has Yang Zaixing, Li Ruoshui, and the others to help him in the court. He also has the support of Li Gang, Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye, and other ministers in charge of the army in the local prefectures. When the time comes, it will be as easy as lifting a finger to strip us of our military power and punish us!
Therefore, we must not make any mistakes!"
Zhao Gou's words caused Gao Qiu to glance at him expressionlessly.
Gao Qiu knew very well that there was no such thing as empathy in this world. Zhao Gou's words were simply because he was unwilling to take risks for his own hatred.
However, Gao Qiu knew that Zhao Gou was doing this for his own safety, but his worries were right.
Once they failed to encircle Yang Zaixing, Gao Qiu would become a traitor and would no longer have a chance to take revenge.
Hence, Gao Qiu shot a cold glance at Zhao Gou.""Does Majesty Kang have a better way to get rid of Yang Zaixing?”
Zhao Gou could see the dissatisfaction in Gao Qiu's eyes. He felt a little helpless and his hatred towards Yang Zaixing grew.
If Yang Zaixing had not killed Gao Qiu's son, Zhao Gou would only have to wait for the court to impeach Yang Zaixing and gain the favor of Gao Qiu and Tong Guan. How could he have stopped Gao Qiu and made him unhappy?
Zhao Gou's eyes flickered for a moment. He pretended not to notice Gao Qiu's expression and said confidently,""Now, all the mistakes are on Yang Zaixing.
We only need to prepare Yang Zaixing's crimes, and then unite Zhang Bangchang, Bai Shizhong, and the other civil officials to impeach Yang Zaixing at the court meeting.
With so many crimes in hand, why worry about Yang Zaixing not falling?
Once my royal brother can't protect him, he'll just be a martial artist with no one to protect him. No matter how brave he is, can he rebel against the heavens?”
Zhao Gou's words caused a venomous fire to shoot out from Gao Qiu's eyes. He nodded his head hatefully and gritted his teeth.
"Alright, we'll do as Majesty Kang says!
After the court meeting, I want Yang Zaixing to die a horrible death!”
Two days passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was the court session that was held once every three days.
Today's court meeting was more lively than usual.
Even those who did not need to attend the court, some of the royal family, vassal kings, and noble old ministers, all came to participate in this court meeting!
However, this excitement was only on the surface.
In reality, everyone who came to participate in the court meeting, be it civil officials, generals, or imperial clan nobles, all held their voices and looked cautious!
Every now and then, everyone would glance at the position of Grand Commandant Gao Qiu in the group of generals. There was a strange look in their eyes.
There were even some who looked at the front row of the generals, the empty seats beside Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, and Zhao Gou, with meaningful expressions.
Bianliang City was under the Emperor's feet, and there were as many dignitaries as there were hairs on an ox. Any small movement could spread throughout the city in an instant.
Not to mention the big event that happened two days ago?
The only son of Grand Commandant Gao Qiu had been kicked to death by Yang Zaixing, who had just become the new Great Protector General of the Kingdom. His manor had also been destroyed by Yang Zaixing and his men, and the 5,000 soldiers of the Dragon Martial Army under him had all been abducted by Yang Zaixing!
To anyone, this was a great hatred that would not rest until one of them died!
However, the Grand Commandant Gao Qiu, who had always sought revenge for the smallest grievance, did not seek revenge from Yang Zaixing immediately. Instead, he had endured for two days. Even a fool could guess that Gao Qiu would definitely make things difficult for him during the court meeting!
In fact, today's court meeting might even be a fierce confrontation between the Retired Emperor and Majesty Kang's faction and the current Emperor's faction!
It would determine the future direction of the Great Song Dynasty.
Therefore, those noble members of the imperial clan who usually did not go to court also came here to watch the commotion and watch the direction of the court!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Imperial Court was extremely oppressive. It was like the face of Grand Commandant Gao Qiu, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on the city.
When Emperor Zhao Heng arrived at the main hall, there was still one empty seat at the front of the generals. It was the seat of the Great General Yang Zaixing.
Especially since all the people who were qualified to attend the court in Bianliang were here today, Yang Zaixing's empty seat became more and more eye-catching.
"His Majesty is already here, but Yang Zaixing is not here yet. Could it be that he knows that he has committed a heinous crime and doesn't dare to come?”
Among the officials, someone couldn't help but whisper.
"It's very possible. Yang Zaixing is so arrogant that he can't be cleared of his crimes. He might have run away!”
"This is bad. If Yang Zaixing runs away, won't His Majesty lose an arm?
Grand Commandant Gao would not let this matter rest. If His Majesty did not appease him, the Retired Emperor of Huayang Palace would probably come out again!”
"Shut up! Be careful not to cause trouble!"
Whispers echoed in the hall.
Anxious expressions appeared on the gloomy faces of Gao Qiu, Zhao Gou, and the others.
Their plan was to wait for Yang Zaixing to come to the Imperial Court and be separated from his army before impeaching him.
Now that Yang Zaixing was not here, Gao Qiu's vendetta and Zhao Gou's plan could not be realized.
Zhao Gou took a step forward and said loudly,"Your Majesty, today's court meeting, the Great General Yang Zaixing did not arrive and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Your Majesty, please send someone to summon Yang Zaixing and interrogate him in court!”
Just as Zhao Gou finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly sounded from the entrance of the Imperial Court."Thank you for your concern, Majesty Kang. This general has already arrived!”
This shout immediately attracted the attention of all the officials and officials in the court. They all turned to the heroic figure at the entrance of the hall...
