Zhao Defang was the fourth son of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. "History of the Song Dynasty" says that when Taizu died, the Queen of the Song Dynasty urgently ordered her chamberlain Wang Jien to summon Zhao Defang into the palace, but Wang Jien went to find the King of Jin Zhao Guangyi with the imperial edict. Later, Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, namely Song Taizong. Because Song Taizong ascended the throne as his younger brother, the suspicion of "The Sound of Candle Shadow and Ax" is widely circulated in the world, believing that Song Taizong murdered Taizu and usurped the throne.
After Taizu's unexplained death, in order to show the legitimacy of his accession to the throne, Taizong came up with the statement that his mother, Queen Mother Du, had left the throne, which was the so-called "Golden Chamber Alliance". []
The beginning and end of the "Golden Chamber Alliance" is as follows: When Empress Dowager Du was dying, she summoned Minister Zhao Pu to the palace to record her last wishes. It is said that Taizu was also present at the time. Empress Dowager Du asked Taizu how he could conquer the world. Taizu said it was the kindness and blessings of his ancestors and the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager said: "You are wrong. If Zhou Shizong hadn't passed down the throne to his youngest son, which made the young master doubtful, how could you have conquered the world?" ? You should learn a lesson. In the future, the emperor will first pass on Guangyi, then Guangyi will pass on Guangmei, and Guangmei will pass on Dezhao. In this way, the country will have an elder king, which is the blessing of the country." Taizu cried and accepted the lesson. Empress Dowager Du asked Zhao Pu to write the testament as an oath and hide it in the golden cabinet.
However, the authenticity of the "Alliance of the Golden Chamber" is arousing doubts. Later generations speculated that it was fabricated by Taizong and Zhao Pu to deceive others. Originally, the throne was supposed to be inherited by Zhao Defang's brother Zhao Dezhao, but he was unexpectedly usurped by Taizong Zhao Guangyi. After Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, his brother Zhao Guangmei and his nephews Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang all died at a young age. Zhao Guangyi can only become emperor after Zhao Guangyi clears all the obstacles to Zhao Heng's succession to the throne.
Bao Zheng recalled the historical materials he knew well in his memory, but these historical materials were only historical records. What exactly happened in history is difficult to know. Bao Zheng didn't know whether history was true, but there was no doubt about it. That is the descendants of Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang. They must hate Zhao Guangyi and the current emperor Zhao Heng very much.
Since there is such a relationship, it is reasonable for Zhao Congshi, Prince of Anding County, to collude with Moutianhui.
Seeing that the place has been found, Bao Zheng did not dare to alert the snake at the moment. He immediately said to Ling Mei: "Fairy Jingzhen, since the place has been found, we will go back first. In the future, we will have people keep an eye on this place, hoping to find more information." A message from the Celestial Society.
Fang Lingmei didn't say anything, she just nodded quietly, seeming to be thinking about something. Bao Zheng immediately drove the carriage and left the area around the Prince's Mansion, heading towards Bao Mansion.
When Bao Zheng¡¯s carriage arrived not far from Bao Mansion, Fang Lingmei in the car said: "Bao Zheng, don¡¯t rush back yet. I feel that there are many people around watching Bao Mansion. We must sneak in."
Bao Zheng couldn't help but said: "When we first came out, there was no one watching. Now that there are people watching, the Moutianhui must have been angry. But Bao's house only has a front door and a back door, how can we go back secretly?"
Fang Lingmei said calmly in the car: "Drive the carriage back and go to the Zhu Mansion that you passed just now. Master Kou has already made arrangements."
After hearing Fang Lingmei¡¯s words, Bao Zheng was confused, but he immediately followed the instructions. When the carriage arrived at Zhu's Mansion, Bao Zheng drove the carriage in through the side door, but no one in the caretaker stopped him.
Bao Zheng parked the carriage in the yard, but saw someone coming out to greet him. Bao Zheng took a closer look and saw that the person who came was actually Kou Zhun's adopted son Kou Sui. Bao Zheng had met Kou Sui in Luzhou, and he could be considered an old acquaintance. After Bao Zheng and Fang Lingmei got off the carriage, Bao Zheng and Kou immediately exchanged pleasantries.
After Bao Zheng exchanged greetings, he looked around the Zhu Mansion and saw that the courtyard was lined with houses and the trees in the courtyard were tall and lush. It was extremely difficult to see the inside of the Zhu Mansion from the outside.
Bao Zheng looked at these layouts and immediately concluded that this might be the reason why Kou Zhun deliberately chose this place.
Bao Zheng asked: "Master Kou, do you know what kind of connections there are in Zhu Mansion? I just listened to Fairy Jingzhen's words and came here, but I didn't expect to meet your old friend."
Kou Sui had a simple and honest expression and said with a smile: "Brother Bao, my father has secretly sent me to lead hundreds of people to work here for a long time. Just to dig a secret passage leading to Bao Mansion. You follow me now."
Bao Zheng had more doubts in his heart, but without saying anything, he followed Kou Sui to a side hall. Kou then walked into the side hall and pushed a large cabinet aside. However, a huge corridor appeared behind the cabinet.
Kou Sui took a lantern from the side hall and led the way. Bao Zheng, Kou Sui, and Fang Lingmei walked into the corridor. Not long after the three left, they met many busy craftsmen in the corridor. Obviously the corridor has not been completely completed!
"Bao Zheng couldn't help but said at this time: "This corridor obviously cannot be completed overnight. Could it be that Lord Kou had already expected that Bao Mansion would be under surveillance?"
He is an honest man, but it is difficult to explain everything at once. Fang Lingmei said calmly at this time: "Master Kou, in fact, before you, I have fought countless rounds with the people of Moutianhui. Master Kou relies on two forces, one is Longhutang, and the other is It was the Kou Tang who he secretly cultivated with the emperor's permission to deal with the Mou Tian Hui! Master Kou had fought with the Mou Tian Hui in the past, and was always restrained. He had always suspected that Longhu Tang was not trustworthy. Now Master Kou He only has a lot of past with Cuiweiju, and important events rarely go through Longhutang. Due to Bao Zheng's appearance, Master Kou found out that you had many connections with Moutianhui in Luzhou, and decided to use the people of Koutang In the dark, let you be in the light so that you can thoroughly investigate the Moutianhui!"
After hearing Fang Lingmei's words, Bao Zheng nodded immediately and said with a half-smile on his face: "No wonder the emperor asked my father to come to Beijing. It turned out that he planned to use me, Bao Zheng, as bait, but I kept it in the dark. Seriously? Ridiculous. I thought that I was talented, Master Kou appreciated my ambition, and the Emperor appreciated my loyalty. It turned out that everything was mirrored. But since Master Kou has found out so much information, why didn't you send those who monitored the Bao Mansion to the police? Once you arrest someone and extract a confession, you can learn a lot.¡±
Kou then said: "Brother Bao, what you said is completely wrong. Lord Kou has been investigating Moutianhui all the time, and all he found were minutiae. But Brother Bao, you have already been investigating for just a few months." It touches on many hidden secrets of the Moutian Society. Brother Bao, you have always wanted to do something for the court and the people. Master Kou has the same idea as you, so how can there be any mutual use in this? As for those who monitor Bao Mansion, They are all dead soldiers of the Moutian Society. If we really send out people to arrest them, they will also commit suicide by taking poison. The Moutian Society is intricately connected. If you want to uproot the Moutian Society, you must endure it! I found the person behind the Moutian Society. Real power."
Kou Zhun nodded and said: "Whether they are using me as bait or not, Bao Zheng doesn't really take these things to heart. He just expressed his feelings just now. Brother Kou, you don't need to mind too much after hearing this. Bao Zheng is still Bao Zheng will still follow my path and continue walking."
Kou Suihe and Fang Lingmei couldn't help but nodded after listening to Bao Zheng's words, as if they understood Bao Zheng's thoughts a little better. I have even more respect for Bao Zheng as a person.
