Chapter 1204

In fact, a small number of people understood what Fan Zhi meant.As a leftist prime minister, Fan Zhi's urgency to obtain military power was not for the sake of fighting at all.But his military order was a bit extreme. If Khitan didn't retreat, he really couldn't do anything about it.

Only a very small number of people understood Fan Zhi's real plan, but these people could only keep silent, because Fan Zhi's bet was too high, and everything would be lost if he lost the bet.

Of course, even if he loses the bet, at most he will be killed. Lei Hong's blood relatives cannot be killed. Even if Lei Fang wants to die, Da Zhou's soldiers dare not touch her, but Fan Zhi cannot escape.

It was obvious that Fan Zhi was so eager to obtain military power in order to restrict Zhao Kuangyin. The deceased emperor Chai Rong's body was still cold, and the new emperor Chai Zongxun ascended the throne at the age of 7. At this time, it was really too dangerous for Zhao Kuangyin to leave Bianliang with a large number of troops.However, when the Khitan invaded the territory and Yelvzhen came back with his troops to take revenge, he could only let Zhao Kuangyin lead his troops there. No one except him could restrain Yelvzhen, not even Fan Zhi.

Although Fan Zhi's actions were great, he overestimated his own luck and underestimated Yelvzhen's strength.

Of course, there were still a few people who really understood what Fan Zhi meant.He didn't really want to fight Yeluzhen, but he was making a bet that Yeluzhen never came to Cangzhou at all, and there was no Khitan army to press down on the border.The whole thing was a lie, and the purpose of this lie was to let Zhao Kuangyin leave Bianliang smoothly after he got the military power.

Zhao Kuangyi is engaged to Fu Xuande, and Zhao Kuangyin has established a strong relationship with Fu Yanqing.At this time, Chai Rong is dead, and Fu Yanqing also needs an extremely strong supporter to ensure his status in today's society.

Although it is good for Fu Xuanci to be the empress dowager and listen to the government behind the curtain, although Fu Yanqing knows that his daughter is not a ruler, if she is allowed to continue like this, the national power of the Great Zhou will only slowly decline, which is not a good thing for him .

At this time, Fu Yanqing would also choose to support Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion and proclaim himself emperor, so he fabricated this lie to let Zhao Kuangyin's plan be implemented smoothly.

After all, Zhao Kuangyin had stayed in Cangzhou for so long, and he had enough time to discuss these matters with Fu Yanqing.So Fan Zhi dared to make this bet. He bet that the whole thing was a lie, and Fan Zhi had great confidence, so he dared to make this bet with the lives of his whole family.

After all, Fan Zhi couldn't just watch Zhao Kuangyin lead his troops away, because as long as Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to leave Bianliang, the country would perish.No matter whether the Khitan's conquest was true or not, as long as Fan Zhi led the troops out, Zhao Kuangyin's chances of success would drop a lot.

There are several people who understand, and they are all people who know Fan Zhi and Zhao Kuangyin very well.Wang Bo and Li Gu just didn't want to be involved in such a struggle, so they resigned and wanted to enjoy their old age in peace.Because of this kind of time, they will not express their position.

Taking a stand is a very meaningful thing, but it is also an extremely dangerous thing.The winner just doesn't care how powerful this person is or how much power is behind him, as long as he knows that this person's allegiance is not his side, after victory, he will carry out a ruthless cleansing, those who did not support or oppose One's own people will definitely be punished as they should.

Of course, there will be some special cases, like Fan Zhi, who is smart and capable, and his family is very powerful. Even if Fan Zhi has always opposed Zhao Kuangyin, it is not a big problem. Zhao Kuangyin will not take the risk of provoking Lei Hong .

Wang Bo and Li Gu resigned to avoid this kind of internal struggle. Of course, they can't express their position here, because this matter has nothing to do with them, and they just don't want to participate in it.Wei Renpu can't speak even more, because he still wants to continue to be an official. Whether it is Fan Zhiying or Zhao Kuangyin winning, it is the same for him. It is too dangerous to bet on one of them, and the benefits are too little.

Wei Renpu is now the minister of the Ministry of War. For him, even if the side he supports wins, his status is nothing more than being promoted to prime minister.Is it really better to be the prime minister than the Minister of the Ministry of War?That's not necessarily the case.

Now Fan Zhi is fighting Zhao Kuangyin for a little military power. He wants military power to stop Zhao Kuangyin's ambition, but as a prime minister, it is too difficult to get military power.

However, the Minister of War is different. Although the Minister himself does not have military power, the ownership of military power must pass through his hands.Therefore, the status of the Minister of War is no lower than that of the Prime Minister.So Wei Renpu doesn't need to take risks for such a small promotion.Although this kind of wallflower is unpopular and may even be demoted, these are all within Wei Renpu's tolerance.

Fan Zhi's behavior was approved by several people, but others thought he was crazy.In the eyes of ordinary people, Fan Zhi's behavior is really unreasonable. In order to fight Yeluzhen, he even issued a military order with his whole family's life, and his so-called military order was to repel Khitan instead of defending Cangzhou.

This is above the Golden Palace, otherwise Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin, who are close friends, would have rushed up and knocked Fan Zhi to the ground, and tied him up to calm down for a few days.Although this is a bit excessive, it can clear up Fan Zhi's mind, and he won't do such stupid things when he calms down.

But this is under the Golden Palace. The new emperor Chai Zongxun is watching, and the queen mother Fu Xuanci is listening behind. In this situation, who dares to rush up and beat a prime minister?What's more, Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin are not confident that they can defeat Fan Zhi. Although Fan Zhi is a civil servant, his martial arts have always been good. Because of his adventure after going to Yedu, his internal strength is no longer as high as this. Ordinary people can compare it.

"Master Fan, are you crazy? Even if you are crazy, it's okay. I don't want to live to wipe my neck with a knife, so why drag my family to accompany you to die?" Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "You were raised by your biological parents. Isn’t it raised by your biological parents? Isn’t it the servants in your family? Everyone is equal in the world. If you want to die, you have to drag other people. What qualifications do you have to be a husband? Come on you bastard, one person does the work and the other is in charge, what kind of man are you to drag the whole family here to support you?"

Zhao Kuangyin also had no choice but to open his mouth to curse, and he used the theory that everyone is equal that Zong Xin taught him before, and the curse was quite enjoyable.But after scolding, Zhao Kuangyin himself felt quite reasonable. Although Fan Zhi was very smart, his trick just now was indeed a fatal loophole. Guaranteed, Zhao Kuangyin instantly felt that he had found a breakthrough.

Fan Zhi was speechless when he scolded these words, and even Fan Zhi himself was stunned, because he couldn't refute what Zhao Kuangyin said, and Zhao Kuangyin's scolding was very reasonable.Fan Zhi is definitely not the kind of unreasonable person, because other people's reasoning can stand firmer than his.

"Fan Zhi, you self-righteous thing. Do you think that as a prime minister, your life is more valuable than others? Your family's wife, children and servants deserve to die with you? You just read a few more words. It's just a book, what's so great about it?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "I was born in a reckless manner when the Emperor Taizu was born, and he still created great events in the world, but the Emperor Taizu thought that every commoner was as important as his own life. Is the emperor taller? Then why do you have it? If Lei Hong hears this, he will immediately cut you into pieces. No wonder you have no status in front of Lei Hong. Everyone in Lei Hong’s mansion has drunk unicorn blood except You didn’t, because you are not worthy. This is just the father of one of them, if you don’t have this kind of martial arts, the parents of the servants at home will eat you alive to relieve their hatred when they hear you say this.”

Ashamed, ashamed of Chi Guoguo.Fan Zhi was said to have almost lost the courage to live, if his skin was a little thinner.Fan Zhi had never been called so lowly before, but this time Fan Zhi couldn't refute it, because he thought so in his heart.

Zhao Kuangyin was right, perhaps in the eyes of other people, it is a kind of supreme dedication, a kind of upright expression to fight Zhao Kuangyin with the life of a family.But Fan Zhi is a very reasonable person, Zhao Kuangyin's reasoning is not the slightest problem, Fan Zhi could not refute it, and bowed his head to accept the lesson.

The truth Zhao Kuangyin said is correct, but it is not easy for anyone in the world today to understand this truth. The only person who really practiced it is Emperor Taizu Emperor Guo Wei.Because of this, Fan Zhi has always admired Guo Wei and is willing to work for him.

As a result, Fan Zhi really couldn't do it when it came to him.The reason why Fan Zhi thinks that Zhao Kuangyin is right is because he really thinks so. He feels that his life is much more important than ordinary people, let alone the servants in his family.

"Good scolding."

~~~~~

A huge voice came from the sky. Many people knew this voice, but they just couldn't believe that he would appear.

At this time, Fan Zhi was just about to speak, when he was suddenly frightened by the voice and broke out in cold sweat, because he also recognized who the voice belonged to.If those people were heard by him just now, how can he survive?

A flash of fire flashed straight towards the Golden Palace, and before he realized what was going on, Zong Xin's hand had already grabbed Fan Zhi's neck, preventing him from saying another word.

"Fan Zhi, how did my sister feel sorry for you? She promoted you from a poor scholar to the prime minister of the dynasty, and kept taking money from her natal family to subsidize your family. When I was in Yedu, I just got the essence of the medicine king tripod. Into your body, or your martial arts are not as good as Zhang Yongde." Zong Xin suddenly turned his head and said: "Zhang Yongde, I am not insulting you, I just said that your martial arts are not very good."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's an honor to be insulted by you."

The two were both consorts of the dynasty, and their relationship was very close because their wives were biological sisters. Zhang Yongde's son even became Zong Xin's disciple and became his disciple. Logically speaking, their identities should be the same.But in fact, the status is very different, not on the same level at all.
