Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty, I'm just doing my duty."

"Qin Hui, I have something to ask you."

Qin Hui hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty has turned down the evil minister, please make it clear."

"I want to buy a batch of horses recently, where do you think is the best place to buy them?"

Qin Hui didn't know why Zhao's family suddenly asked this question. He thought for a while and said, "I used to buy horses in the Northwest and Hebei, but the wars in the Northwest were frequent and the commercial routes were blocked."

Zhao Ning stopped and looked back at Qin Hui with a smile: "Oh, really? Then where did your hard-earned BMW come from?"

Chapter 308 The Horse Buyer (Part [-])

Qin Hui looked as usual, but his heart beat suddenly, and he broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

He said in a calm tone: "Officials, it was given to His Royal Highness King Kang by Wang Xie (xie, four tones), the magistrate of Fengxiang Prefecture, and I just did it for you."

"You don't have to be nervous, I'll just ask casually." Zhao Ning said with a smile, "It's nothing else, it's human nature for friends to give gifts to each other."

"Yes Yes."

That's what he said, but Qin Hui didn't dare to really think that Zhao Guanjia was just asking casually.

Zhao Guanjia is obviously dissatisfied with his behavior, and Zhao Guanjia probably knows more.

Qin Hui adjusted his mood and said: "I have a personal relationship with King Kang, and I would give some gifts on weekdays. I actually admire King Kang very much."

"Oh?" Zhao Ning became curious.

"Kang Kang is easy-going and generous, and he doesn't seek fame and fortune. He also likes to grow land, and his ministers also like to farm, so they communicate more freely on weekdays."

Qin Hui likes farming?

Bullshit!

Qin Hui, you only like to engage in interpersonal relationships, do you think I don't know?

You can see that now I attach great importance to the new agricultural policy, promote Chen Yan, set up supervisors and town officials in various places, establish agricultural colleges, and promote new agricultural taxes.

But you just saw Zhao Gou planting the land well at home on weekdays, so you want to recommend him?

You have established such a good image in all factions, what do you want to do?

Want to join the political affairs hall?

Zhao Ning said, "Kang Kang likes farming?"

"Kang Wang has a special liking for farming, and he planted a lot at home by himself."

"Oh, I don't know that yet."

"Kang Kang likes farming, so I recommended King Kang to meet Mr. Chen Chen to exchange ideas."

"Oh, it seems that Qin Qing has a close relationship with Mr. Chen."

"I also like farming, so I will ask Mr. Chen for advice if I don't understand it on weekdays."

Zhao Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Almost every sentence in the simple dialogue between the monarch and his ministers implied other meanings.

If Qin Hui's answer was slightly biased, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

But Qin Hui had reasons and evidences, did not hide anything, and said "I am a good official with a clean and honest official and good hobbies".

It's no wonder he's able to navigate the lines between conservatives and neo-decents.

I am afraid that he did not less praise the New Deal in front of the New Deal faction, and did not less express his difficulties in front of the conservatives, even shed tears, and did not give less money.

Qin Hui has trained everyone in Dali Temple to be obedient and obedient, and their work efficiency can be said to be the highest among the six departments of Jiuqing Yamen.

"I also like farming, and I will discuss it with you someday."

"Thanks to Your Majesty for your advice."

Zhao Ning went inside again, and when he reached the backyard of the Ministry of Justice, he suddenly said, "Many officials have said that Qin Qing is a loyal, capable, and capable minister."

"That's what His Majesty taught you well."

"Zhao Ding said it, Cai Mao said it, even Xu Han and Mr. Xu said it, and Mr. Zhang Jun, who is thousands of miles away, praised you very well."

"I dare not!" Qin Hui suddenly realized.

Zhao Ning still had a kind face on his face: "You are a good minister of mine, why don't you say you don't dare?"

"The ministers are all doing things for His Majesty. They praise the ministers, but the ministers dare not take the credit and be proud. Sharing worries for the Majesty is only part of the job."

"Have you heard the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"Do you know why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up an inner dynasty?"

Qin Hui replied: "In the past, after more than [-] years, the Han Dynasty was strong and prosperous. In order to weaken the prime minister and better implement his own policies, Emperor Wu set up an inner court. All major military affairs decisions were made by the inner court. The Sangong is only doing execution, and at the same time it is to weaken the prime minister's power."

"You are very smart."

After Zhao Ning finished speaking, he didn't say any more.

The meaning of the emperor's words was too simple. It meant that no second person who was praised by all factions was allowed within the imperial court.

Not even the prime minister, the prime minister has Jianyuan and Yushitai staring at him, and he is scolded by the old faction, you Qin Hui are good, all factions have such a good reputation.

How can you let me use you again in the future?

The beating ended so far, if Qin Hui still didn't know how to measure, then he was courting death.

Zhao Ning met Zhang Bangchang.

Zhang Bangchang has been in prison for more than two years, and his life is definitely not comparable to that of the outside world, but there is no shortage of delicious food and drink.

"The guilty minister sees Your Majesty, Sheng'an." Zhang Bangchang knelt on the ground.

"Thin."

"The sinner deserves to die, how dare you bother the emperor to worry about it." Zhang Bangchang was trembling, but in fact he was already happy.

Being able to stay in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for two years means that the death penalty must be avoided.

It must be a good thing that Zhao Guan's family came here in person today.

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Can you still be an official?"

Zhang Bangchang was stunned for a while, but didn't react for a while.

"Still... still... this... still..."

"I have some things that you need to do. If you do it well, you will be promoted. If you can't do it well, plus your previous crimes, you will be decapitated and ransacked your house."

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"I plan to buy a horse farm in Guangxi, and I need you to go to Dali Kingdom to deepen the relationship between Song Dynasty and Dali Kingdom and increase the number of horses purchased."

Zhang Bangchang was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "I will die!"

The source of flattery in the Song Dynasty was mostly from the northwest, and some also came from northern Hebei.

The situation in the northwest is unclear, and the horse road is very risky. Zhao Ning definitely intends to assign a special person to go there, but he must be a backup.

It is difficult to buy roads in the north, but it is made up in the south.

Although the horses in Dali are a little short, they are famous for their endurance, and they can walk on mountains.

The horses along the Tea Horse Road are the best proof.

The Southern Song Dynasty also bought horses in Dali on a large scale.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't worry, you can do it well."

As usual, the family stays in Tokyo.

Zhao Ning is considered rich to buy horses now, didn't he just copy out 800 million guan, the money copied out should be spent!

The matter of Zhang Bangchang is still a secret. The outside world declared a truce loudly, while the inside kept a low profile and spent a lot of money on armaments.

After leaving the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Zhao Ning asked again: "Qin Qing, you said earlier that Wang Xie, the prefect of Fengxiang Prefecture, sent King Kang a batch of bloody BMWs?"

"Yes."

"Why did Wang Xie give Kang Wang a bloody BMW?"

"Someone reported that Wang Xie abandoned Yan'an City and fled when Wanyan Lou's family called at the end of the previous year, resulting in the fall of Yan'an and the death of [-] troops."

"Then it's true?"

Qin Hui said: "True or false, there is no conclusion yet."

Whether Wang Xie abandoned the city and fled is indeed inconclusive, and even Zhang Jun didn't say anything about it.

I am afraid that this involves the rivalry between the Western Army.

And Qin Hui is the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and he is the subject of Xing prison. Wang Xie was afraid, so he sent gifts to the capital.

But this move more or less means that there is no silver 300 taels here.

"In addition to giving King Kang a bloody BMW, what else did he give?"

"As far as I know, some officials in the capital have given gifts in private, all in the name of personal friendship, not expensive gifts."

"Where did that bloody BMW come from?"

"It is said that Orihiko bought it from the Northwest, and Wang Xie bought it at a high price."

Orihiko quality?

Families?

He does have a way.

Chapter 309 Meeting the Golden Envoy (Part [-])

Zhao Ning asked, "What is Orihiko doing now?"

"Zhe Yanzhi was defeated in the first year of Jingkang's defense of Pingyang Mansion, and was demoted to the northwest by Zhang Jun and Zhang Xianggong. He is currently the training envoy of Huangzhou regiment."

Zhao Ning glanced at Qin Hui, who quickly nodded to avoid it.

Zhao Ning didn't ask Qin Hui why he knew so much, but said: "Xuan Zheyan returned to the capital, I want to see him."

The servant on the side quickly said: "Yes."

"Zhang Jun is also announced to be back."

Zhao Ning went all the way back to the palace, thinking in his heart that since the truce between Song and Jin was a foregone conclusion, it was time to start planning to kill Xixia.

Zhe Yanzhi can be regarded as a genius with both civil and military skills, but it is a pity that the Fugu Zhe family surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, and Zhe Yanzhi was defeated in defending the Yellow River in the first year of Jingkang, and was demoted under the double blow of politics and public opinion. "

Zhang Jun demoted him, it should be to demote him secretly.

Huangzhou is also a very special place. It is located in the south of the Hexi Corridor, in Xiejie Qinghai-Tibet, where Tubo, Uyghur, Han, and Dangxiang people live together.

The Song Dynasty set up the Longyou Protectorate there, which can be traced back to the era of Wang Anshi's reform. In order to demonstrate the merits of the new law, the New Dealers determined to seize the northwest, and Wang Anshi's general Wang Shaoxi opened the border.

The battle of Xihe stretched the border for more than two thousand miles!

That may be the last glory of the Song Dynasty.

Orihiko was taken there, there is a high probability that Zhang Jun asked him to buy war horses.

The matter of the war horse is now part of the highest military strategy of the Song Dynasty.

The Kingdom of Jin has hundreds of thousands of war horses in reserve, while the total number of war horses in the Song Dynasty is less than [-]. This is after adding the war horses captured by Yue Fei in the third Song-Jin War.

Da Song can only defend passively now.

Just like when the Han Dynasty faced the Xiongnu at the beginning of its establishment, it could only be beaten passively.

Until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the reserve of war horses reached its peak, and there were 40 reserves in the state-run pastures alone.

In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed Sang Hongyang and others to rejuvenate the treasury, and brazenly launched a counterattack against the Huns.

For Zhao Ning now, he can only endure the battle of the Kingdom of Jin.

When returning to the palace, Li Ruoshui came running and said, "Your Majesty, the Jin envoy is here again and wants to see you."

"Let him wait a moment."
