He said: "Your Majesty, the business and trade between our court and Japan are becoming more and more frequent, and the court is negotiating with Japan to mine silver mines in Japan. I am worried that if this matter becomes bigger, it will affect the silver mine. The silver mines are not advancing smoothly."

"I've made a note, you go and deal with the matter in front of you first."

"My minister retire."

After Zhu Shengfei left, Zhao Ning asked Gao Qiu, who had been standing by the sidelines all this time, "Why is Zhang Jun making such a big fuss in Hangzhou?"

"Zhang Jun has been doing his duty these past few years. It's nothing to arrange some Japanese women to come over, and it doesn't affect the public security of the Song Dynasty. I think it's harmless."

The implication of Gao Qiu's words is: official, I advise you not to meddle in your own business!

Of course, Zhao Ning didn't intend to take care of this kind of thing at first. Japanese folk women want to come, and Song folk men like it. That's their freedom, as long as it doesn't affect public order.

To manage a big country, we cannot manage everything.

Assuming that a document goes down and Japanese women are strictly controlled to come to Song Dynasty, can Japanese men come?After coming here, can I find a Da Song woman here?

Can women from the Western Regions come?

Can men from the Western Regions come?

There are some things in the world, as long as the public order is not disturbed, it cannot be managed carelessly.

How do you say that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish?

You have to cook it slowly, you can't stir fry all the time.

"Besides this incident, did Zhang Jun cause other troubles?"

"Not really. These years, he has been doing business for the imperial court along the coast. I heard that the Japanese have a good feeling for him. Even people from the South China Sea like to deal with him."

"It seems that he misplaced it before." Zhao Ning said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhao Guan's family no longer asked about the Japanese women, Gao Qiu heaved a sigh of relief, otherwise how would he find those Japanese women tonight?

"What do you think of Lu Qingliu's letter?" Zhao Ning asked again.

Gao Qiu said in a serious tone: "Qin Xianggong wants to provoke the relationship between His Majesty and the Liaodong Army."

Chapter 1174 Qin Hui's Surplus Value (Second Change)

Zhao Ning asked, "What's the motive?"

Gao Qiu continued: "Qin Hui and the King of Liao have a bad relationship. The more powerful and prestigious the King of Liao is, the less he can sleep peacefully."

"You mean, he was falsely accused?"

"It must be a false accusation!"

"But Lu Qingliu said in his letter that he had found evidence of the Liaodong Dragon Guards' private dealings with the Jinren."

"This may not be true, it may be fabricated by Qin Hui."

"But Lu Qingliu didn't say in the letter that Qin Hui asked him to fabricate these things. Instead, he said that after Qin Hui passed away, he asked him to take the initiative to investigate this matter."

Qin Hui did not let Lu Qingliu fabricate it, and even at that time Qin Hui said righteously, "It is a taboo for the Liaodong army to do business with the Jin people in private. As the court chief, how can I sit idly by?"

This is where Qin Hui is most shrewd. His essence is to engage in the Liaodong Army, but he uses formal methods that seem to be in line with righteousness to accomplish his private goals.

This is to prevent Lu Qingliu from betraying him.

As for his business with Lu Qingliu, Qin Hui himself said it all, without leaving any traces.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Lu Qingliu's secret letter has no way to convict Qin Hui.

Zhao Ning pondered, Qin Hui's methods were really sophisticated, he might even suspect Lu Qingliu, but he still did business with Lu Qingliu.

Whether Qin Hui can be brought down by this method is not what Zhao Ning cares about. When he really wants to move Qin Hui, he has a hundred ways.

Qin Hui is still within his control.

Even Qin Hui's behavior towards the Liaodong Army was deliberately acquiesced by his Zhao family.

Otherwise, why would Zhao Ning send Qin Hui there?

Gao Qiu continued: "The Liaodong Dragon Guards have repeatedly made military exploits, and Qin Hui is picking on the bones at this time. Isn't he trying to provoke the relationship between the court and Liaodong? Your Majesty must not be confused by him."

"You mean, the Liaodong Army did not smuggle with the Jin people?"

"Chen... I don't mean that."

"So if the smuggling by the Liaodong Army is true?" Zhao Ning asked again.

Gao Qiu's heart skipped a beat.

If it is true, but you Gao Lian defended them, could it be that you also have a part?

Gao Qiu immediately said: "This is a serious matter. I feel that the imperial court should send people from the Military Governor's Mansion to investigate carefully."

"You go and tell Lu Qingliu that I am very satisfied with what he has done, but if he wants to eat a few, he will die a miserable death."

"Yes!"

When Gao Qiu left Wende Hall, he kept thinking about the meaning of Zhao Guanjia's last sentence in his mind.

How many heads does Lu Qingliu eat?

Qin Hui, my place, my place represents the official family, where else?

Gao Lian couldn't figure it out, but he didn't continue to think about it.

He rubbed his hands and smiled happily: Let's find those Japanese girls who just came over!

In the evening, Cai Mansion.

Cai Heng returned home, took off his official uniform, and went to the door of Cai Mao's study.

"Come in." Cai Mao's voice came from inside.

Cai Heng pushed open the door and saluted: "Master Grandpa."

"sit."

The door was closed, Cai Heng was sitting at the desk, and Cai Mao was writing, copying Zhao Guanjia's "General Theory of Money".

Next to it is "Logic".

Cai Mao has transcribed it many times. His handwriting is slow but strong, and he looks peaceful but upright.

"Grandfather, that Lu Qingliu sent a letter."

"Set aside."

After Cai Heng put it aside, he stopped talking and just quietly watched Cai Mao write.

The sky gradually dimmed, and candles were lit in the study.

After no one was around, Cai Mao picked up the letter and read it.

After reading it, the wrinkles on his face slowly unfolded. He sat down again, breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a smile.

"Lu Qingliu has been playing this pawn for so many years, and Qin Hui finally went to see him in person."

"Grandfather, hasn't Qin Hui met him before?"

"Qin Hui is impeccable in his work. Countless people in the court tried to catch him, but they couldn't catch him. The Jianyuan and Yushitai stared at him every day."

"So this time, can Qin Hui be defeated?"

"No."

"Why?"

"There is no evidence here that can directly prove that Qin Hui had a private deal with the Jinren before, and this Lu Qingliu will never be stupid enough to help us bring down Qin Hui immediately. He wants to take both, so that he is valuable."

"This guy is really cunning!"

Cai Mao said indifferently: "It's just a small role. This shows that the fact that the Wang family was doing business in Hebei that we found out before is true, and it also proves that Qin Hui may have had contacts with the Jin people in secret, but it was not him himself. Maybe It could be his wife, Wang Shi, or his son Qin Xi, who has already been assigned, and his illegitimate son is also suspected of this."

"Grandson found out that Zhang Sijun from Fanlou was taken away by the Imperial City Secretary."

"sure?"

"The bustard said it himself, don't let me tell others, saying that this matter involves confidentiality."

"It seems that Gao Lian may have more information than us." Cai Mao frowned and pondered, "In this way, the government may not have less information than us."

"Could it be that the officials also suspect Qin Hui?"

"I can't rule out this possibility." Cai Mao said, "Last time, when Li Hui was arrested in the Imperial City Division, the officials went there and interrogated Li Hui in person. I signaled Li Hui to direct the disaster to Qin Hui. It was at that time that the officials began to suspect Qin Hui."

"Then when will the officials move Qin Hui?" Cai Heng asked eagerly.

"It will naturally change when it is changed. This time Qin Hui was sent to Liaodong, I am afraid it has a deep meaning!"

"What's the meaning?"

Cai Mao replied directly, but said: "You continue to stare at Hebei, and collect more evidence of Wang's business in Hebei."

"Yes."

On August [-]th, one autumn wind and one cool.

What is cool is not only the weather, but also the atmosphere of the capital's officialdom.

Just because Liu Shuming, the magistrate of Duli City, sent an impeachment letter to the Zhengshitang, it immediately caused an uproar.

Liaodong God Guards and Jinren smuggle goods!

This matter was originally top-secret, and not everyone could read the memorandum, only the Zaizhi could look it up.

But for some reason, the news leaked out quickly.

For a time, the official circles in Tokyo City were in an uproar, and people were terrified and panicked.

Some people shouted: Han Shizhong is alone overseas, and he is planning to rebel and become king!

Some people even said bluntly: The Liao king had already had an affair with the Jin people, and he wanted to proclaim himself emperor in Liaodong and Koryo, which was a big rebellious act.

On August [-]th, at the meeting of the Military and Political Council, Fan Zhixu, deputy military and political envoy, said: This is the risk of a frontier commander staying in his job for a long time!

On August [-]th, Qin Hui, who left Liaodong, met the envoy of Jin Ren on an inconspicuous merchant ship.

"Qin Xianggong, our request is very simple. I believe you know it. If you kill Yue Fei, we will bring you a richer reward."

Chapter 1175 Seeing Your Majesty Han Shizhong (Third Change)

"Don't worry, this matter is progressing smoothly." Qin Hui looked at the man in front of him. This man was about forty years old. He was a Jurchen aristocrat, but he was wearing a gorgeous dress, and his demeanor was no longer that of a Jurchen. Savage and rude.

On the contrary, he looks like a great Confucian scholar.

"I don't know what Qin Xianggong plans to do?"

"The government trusts Yue Fei. It is impossible to kill Yue Fei directly. We have to start with Han Shizhong first. Han Shizhong will be dismissed and imprisoned immediately, and the imperial court will have a big change in the border commanders." Qin Hui said in a very sure tone.

"Qin Xianggong is indeed a great talent, I admire you."

"I only want mine." Qin Hui said.

"rest assured."

On August [-], the edict issued by the imperial court was expedited to Fuzhou for [-] miles and placed in front of Han Shizhong's desk.

As soon as the news reached Fuzhou, the Liaodong generals were in an uproar.

On the same day, Han Shizhong and Liao Wang Zhao Chen packed their bags and left Fuzhou.

At the end of August, Liao King Zhao Chen, the chief protector of Andong's Protectorate, and Han Shizhong, the protector of Andong's Protectorate, arrived in Bianjing.

Bianjing was in turmoil. Whether it was the Jianyuan or the Military Governor's Mansion, they were madly attacking Zhao Chen and Han Shizhong with the evidence sent by Liu Shuming.

But after the two of them arrived in Bianjing, the panic in Bianjing eased a little.

But it still couldn't offset the ministers' suspicion of them.

In the evening of that day, as soon as Zhao Chen arrived in Bianjing, he went to the Cai Mansion.

"Your Highness, long time no see." Cai Mao looked extremely happy.

"Cai Xianggong." Zhao Chen's eyebrows were full of haze.

"Go inside and sit."

Cai Mao ordered people to prepare tea, wine and food.

"Cai Xianggong, to be honest, I'm afraid when I come back this time..."

"I know." Cai Mao said flatly.
