Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Some things happened in Qingzhou recently, and they were investigated by the people of Su Provincial People's Court."

"What happened in Qingzhou has anything to do with us?" Han Shizhong was puzzled.

"Qingzhou is collecting food in the name of the imperial court's war." Geng Zhuo said, "This matter is causing a lot of trouble now, not only in Qingzhou, but also in Dengzhou, and other states on Jingdong East Road are not ruled out. The imperial court sent people We are strictly investigating!"

Han Shizhong said angrily: "These people really set up a name for a clever purpose and search for people's wealth!"

"The most important thing is that there are rumors that you, Han Shuai, allowed them to do this."

"Nonsense!" Han Shizhong's expression changed instantly, "Our military rations have a special procurement office, how can I let them call for rations at will!"

"Calm down Han Shuai's anger. I naturally believe that Han Shuai will not do this, but his words are scary." Geng Zhe looked very calm, and he analyzed for Han Shizhong, "Han Shuai is now fighting on the front line, not only taking down Fuzhou, Now he has captured Goryeo and made great achievements, and..."

"And what?"

"And what will happen next in Koryo is already very clear. Jiaozhi has set up the Annan Protectorate, will Koryo set up the Andong Protectorate?"

Han Shizhong was lost in thought.

"Once the Anton Protectorate Mansion is set up, who will be the protector?"

This is a piece of fat.

The continuous dispatch of a large number of supervisory officials from Jingdong East Road speaks for itself.

When the newly emerged territory was still empty of power, various interest groups had already set their greedy eyes here in advance.

And Han Shizhong, as the former commander of the army, the one who made the most contribution, had a great influence on the Anton Governor's Mansion.

If interest groups of all parties want to develop their own interests in the Anton Governor's Mansion, they cannot avoid Han Shizhong.

However, Han Shizhong is a military general, and he doesn't have a deep connection with many people in the DPRK, so he can't directly talk about many interest negotiations that cannot be brought to the table.

So, what's the best way?

It's best to go with someone you know well.

Since ancient times, where there are interests, there will be struggles, and half of the meat of Korea has already been obtained.

Han Shizhong looked at Geng Zhe and said, "You mean, someone deliberately incited rumors to frame me?"

"When Han Shuai took Fuzhou, people in the court said that Han Shuai was alone overseas and wanted to support himself. Now that Han Shuai has taken down Goryeo, they..."

"They want to say that this commander-in-chief wants to stand on his own in Korea?"

"While they are saying this, they are playing tricks behind their backs." Geng Zhuo said.

"Since the rumors about this matter involve this commander, the Military Governor's Office will naturally come forward to find out." Han Shizhong said.

Han Shizhong is a general, and even handsome.

But when he said this, he obviously lacked political talent.

There is a very important rule in political games: stand in line.

The leader said that the sun rises from the east and sets from the west, and everyone will applaud.

The leader said that the sun rises from the west and sets from the east, and only those who are truly loyal to the leader will applaud.

Referring to a deer as a horse is a good example, which is used by Zhao Gao to eliminate dissidents.

Therefore, in many cases, the truth is not important, but whether you stand on the same line with me is what matters.

The reason why people come together is either the affiliation of interests or the affiliation of emotions.

The summary is: making money together, and having people and things that you hate or like in common, these two points can unite people.

"Even if the Military Governor's Mansion finds out the truth, the word has already been spread, won't all the ministers of the court hold grudges against Han Shuai?"

"Then what do you say?" Han Shizhong said, "Could it be possible for me to write a letter of resignation to His Majesty and the Military and Political Council now?"

"No, I don't mean that. I want to say that Han Shuai lacks a political support. Once Han Shuai has such a support, the situation will be much more stable."

"Reliance on the political situation?" Han Shizhong was puzzled by this sentence, "I have a good relationship with Li Gang and Li Xianggong."

"Li Gang is too upright, and Han Shuai cannot rely on him."

A person who is too upright will naturally not form a party, will not have many people supporting him, and will not have many people standing on his side.

"That……"

"If King Qi is allowed to go to Xijing, defend Xijing, and give King Qi the credit for repelling the Jin army, so that King Qi can become the chief protector of Andong's Protectorate, and become a political force that cannot be ignored in the Song Dynasty. For Han Shuai, don’t you have a stable backer?”

Geng Zhe continued: "Moreover, I heard that Cai Mao and Cai Xianggong have a good relationship with King Qi."

Geng said a lot, and finally came back to King Qi.

"Then you mean to send King Qi to Xijing?"

"King Qi must go. This is what King Qi must do to become the chief protector of Anton's Protectorate."

Han Shizhong did not expect this matter to be so complicated and the interests involved so deep.

If King Qi really became the Protector of Anton, with Cai Mao's power in the court and the opposition, and Han Shizhong's military and political line, if it was reported that Han Shizhong instigated the rear to expropriate violently, countless people would speak for Han Shizhong.

"You are right, but going to Xijing is too risky."

"We can send more elites to Xijing."

Han Shizhong thought for a while and said, "Just do as you say."

In the evening, Zhao Chen received an order from Han Shizhong, and he was transferred to Xijing.

The next day, Zhao Chen tidied up and followed Zhang Qing to the north to Xijing.

Qin Hui thought that Zhao Chen was passionate and eager to prove himself, so he would definitely go north.

But in fact, he overlooked one point: supporting Zhao Chen is the consensus of the generals of the Liaodong Army.

November 23, Tokyo City, Wende Hall.

Zhang Shuye finished reading the good news from Liu Kai.

Zhao Ning walked back and forth in front of the map excitedly, with only one thought in his mind: destroy Xixia!

Chapter 632 Zhao Gou's confidant (second update)

Although thinking about destroying Xixia, Zhao Ning still has many doubts in his heart.

He was not in a hurry to make a statement.

Just let Zhang Shuye properly arrange rewards and punishments, and there is also the issue of pensions.

Zhao Ning knows that this year's Song Dynasty is very special.

In the first half of the year, Annan was recovered and the Annan Protectorate was set up.

Recovering a place means supplementing that place with corresponding officials.

This involves personnel appointments.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Every major appointment of personnel means a change in the structure of the court, the central court and the local government.

Countless people below will put forward some seemingly reasonable opinions with their own purposes.

Zhao Ning wanted to hear more.

At noon on November 23rd, Xiaoxue.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of King Kang's Mansion. A middle-aged man got off the carriage and walked into King Kang's Mansion with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness."

"You are back." Zhao Gou was very happy to see this person.

Zhao Gou likes Wang Boyan more than Qin Hui.

No matter how Qin Hui concealed it, Zhao Gou could vaguely see that wolfish ambition in Qin Hui.

But Wang Boyan is different, he really wants to attach himself.

"Thanks to His Highness, I will be able to stay in the capital after being dismissed as an official."

The two walked in all the way, and the fire in the house was burning.

"Sit down, let's talk slowly." Zhao Gou said.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Boyan sat down.

"My king has always missed you very much!"

"So does the subordinate."

"A lot has happened in these years." Zhao Gou said, "What do you think of the current situation?"

Not long after, the tea came.

Wang Boyan took a sip of tea before saying, "Your Highness is actually in a very dangerous situation."

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Gou asked suspiciously.

Now he is the Governor of Kaifeng Prefecture and the Chief Protector of the Annan Protectorate, and he has achieved remarkable achievements.

As for the matter of handing over banknotes to the countryside, as well as the Agricultural Administration Bank, they are all doing well.

Wang Boyan still had a smile on his face, and he said, "When did Your Highness become the Governor of Kaifeng?"

"Two and a half years ago?" Zhao Gou said.

"What happened then?"

"What happened then?" Zhao Gou was puzzled, recalling the year before last, "The Luoyang case?"

"What happened in the Luoyang case?"

"A group of conservatives were purged."

"Think again, Your Highness."

Zhao Gou thought for a while, his face was a little dark, and he said: "The prince is deposed."

"That's right, the crown prince has been deposed." Wang Boyan said.

"What does this matter have to do with me?" Zhao Gou asked knowingly.

But Wang Boyan said bluntly: "The crown prince is deposed, but the country cannot live without a crown prince. All the ministers have reported the matter of the crown prince. Afterwards, His Highness was appointed as the governor of Kaifeng, and then responsible for the payment of banknotes and the agricultural administration bank."

"Yes."

"This year, the Chief Protector of Annan was appointed." Wang Boyan said, "There are more and more people in the court who are willing to attach themselves to His Highness. I wonder who in the official department is willing to make friends with His Highness?"

"Officials?"

"Yes, Ministry of Officials."

"Last time, Mo Chou sent someone to send some gems purchased from merchants in the Western Regions."

"Mo Chou is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, responsible for the assessment and selection of civil servants. With his help, His Highness can recommend many people to important places."

"That's right, the king has indeed recommended a group of people to the position of Xinzheng in the past two years."

"That's why His Highness is in danger."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The reason why His Majesty entrusts His Highness with this important task is because the prince is still too young, and the prince has just been deposed. His Majesty does not want any prince to take part in the court struggle before he grows up, or even be approached by someone with a heart."

"You mean, Your Majesty uses this king to shield the future prince from arrows?"

Wang Boyan said firmly, "That's right!"

Zhao Gou took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Gou is unwilling to believe this fact, because in his mind, Zhao Guanjia is a kind, sincere brother who treats him very well.

Zhao Gou didn't like his father, Zhao Ji, because Zhao Ji was extremely selfish and indifferent.

But Zhao Gou has a different attitude towards Zhao Guanjia. He regards Zhao Guanjia as a role model.

He recalled the things he had done in these years, many of which had a sense of accomplishment, and many of them were done with the encouragement of Zhao Guan's family.

Even if he made a small mistake sometimes, Zhao Guanjia didn't say anything, and still encouraged himself.

He didn't want to trust his kind brother, so he deliberately used himself as a shield.

Zhao Gou's tone was a bit cold: "You can't talk nonsense like this, you are trying to provoke the relationship between the king and the officials!"
