Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Since Zhao Gou let go of all the power in his hands, he has lived a leisurely life in Tokyo.

This made him feel more comfortable than ever.

He was even thinking, why did he travel so much for the affairs of the court before?

Thinking about it now, I am really tired!

"Actually, I think it's all related to His Highness's idea of ​​governing." Wang Boyan said with a smile on his face.

"Oh?"

"In ancient times, good governance was more valuable than sufficient food. Those who wanted to enrich the country must first benefit the people." Wang Boyan said.

The idea of ​​governing the country he mentioned is the idea of ​​governing the country of Li Longji, who created the prosperity of Kaiyuan in the past.

It means that those who were good at managing the country in ancient times, it was important to keep the people from starvation, and those who wanted to make the country rich must first let the people get benefits.

In ancient times, there has always been an argument between benefiting a hole and benefiting the people.

In the early Han Dynasty, Lao Huang governed the country to benefit the people, meaning that the imperial court should not interfere too much in civil affairs, and the people should develop themselves.

Emperor Wu took over the power and bought the salt and iron of the great man, which was Guan Zhong's idea.

The idea of ​​benefiting from one hole evolved to the extreme in the Song Dynasty, which was Wang Anshi's reform.

Wang Boyan continued: "The failure of Jing Guogong's reform in the past has already shown that the imperial court can't control the world to benefit the people. Today's new policy is also to prohibit officials from doing business, and it is also beneficial to the people. The prohibition of discussion goes hand in hand with private business associations to benefit the people. , to make the country rich."

Zhao Gou looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about it.

"His Royal Highness promoted private commercial loans in Longyou. Although he encountered setbacks, it also allowed Northwest commerce to advance rapidly. The officials believe that the prosperity of Northwestern commerce is inseparable from His Highness's strategy at that time."

"What are you talking about? It's all in the past." Zhao Gou said lightly, "Yu Yunwen is now strictly investigating private lending in various places, and the government will not let go of it."

"But what if His Highness can enter the main hall again?"

"This king thinks that this orchid is not bad, and this fine wine is also good."

"Your Highness." Wang Boyan calmly said with a smile on his face, "Your Highness, don't lose heart."

"It's not that this king has lost his will, but that the world is safe now, all the princes in the court are wise, and the officials don't need this king anymore."

"Your Highness, don't you know that recently..." Wang Boyan hesitated to speak, and looked at the dancers and the surrounding attendants.

Zhao Gou hesitated for a moment, and then let everyone go down.

After everyone left, Wang Boyan whispered, "That Lu Qingliu has entered Beijing."

Zhao Gou was startled, looking at Wang Boyan's smiling face, he was a little surprised for a moment.

"Qin Xianggong is in trouble this time." Wang Boyan smiled even more happily, "If someone vacates a position, someone must take the position. Your Highness must not miss this great opportunity."

Chapter 1245 Finding Li Hui (first update)

Zhao Gou smiled desolately and said, "Do you think this king can take Qin Hui's place?"

It is the rule of the Song Dynasty that the prince cannot be the prime minister.

When Zhao Gou was at the height of his power in this dynasty, he was the Governor of Kaifeng Prefecture and the Governor of Longyou Dufu. Compared with the power of Zaizhi, Zhao Gou was really nothing.

Zhao Gou felt that there was no hope for him in the power field. Since he was transferred from the Northwest last year, he spent all day playing in Tokyo, but he felt peaceful.

However, Wang Boyan said confidently: "I am not asking Your Highness to replace Qin Hui in the ruling position. Your Highness is the king of Qin and is the brother of His Majesty today. The prince of Song Dynasty cannot be in the main center. The lower official still knows."

"Then what's the use of telling me this." Zhao Gou started to drink.

"What does Your Highness think of the King of Liao's expedition to Japan?"

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's a good thing. King Liao can make great achievements. I, as an uncle, am happy for him."

"Then, I would like to ask, if the Liao king conquers Japan, how will Japan be controlled?"

"Your Majesty may not take all of Japan into Song's hands, there is no need for that."

"But what if His Majesty does this?"

"Of course it's the canonization of members of the royal family to go to Japan."

"What about the South China Sea?"

Zhao Gou paused, looked at Wang Boyan, and stopped talking.

Wang Boyan went on to say: "Nowadays, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and the land of Anton can still be governed by officials, but Japan is far away from the sea. If His Majesty wants to bring Japan into China, he must send a prince to guard it, let alone The distant South China Sea."

"You mean, His Majesty will send the king there?"

To be honest, Zhao Gou is not willing to go to those places where the birds don't shit.

Where is the most prosperous place in this era?

Bianjing, of course!

Bianjing is the place that all Yi people in the four directions yearn for, the center of the Celestial Dynasty, and the most prosperous place in the whole world.

As the prince of the Song Dynasty, living in Bianjing, fine wine, beautiful women, fragrant cars and BMWs, you can get whatever you want.

"If one day, His Majesty really lets you accept enfeoffment, what should you do?"

Zhao Gou was stunned, panic rose in his heart, but his expression was still calm, he said: "As a subject, it is natural to obey the emperor's order."

"Does Your Highness think that he can still enjoy his life in the mansion now?"

"We'll talk about it after His Majesty distributes it."

"After enfeoffment, how will His Highness fight against the local barbarians?"

"The imperial court will naturally send a large army."

"What if the army sent by the imperial court does not cooperate with His Highness, or even makes things difficult for His Highness deliberately by virtue of being far away from the imperial court?"

Creating panic and anxiety is always the best way to convince a person.

Zhao Gou said impatiently: "Today, the king invites you to drink and enjoy the dance, and you will make my king unhappy!"

"Your Highness, calm down!" Wang Boyan said hastily, "Your Majesty feels that His Highness has become depressed recently, and wants to remind His Highness that this Prince Taiping is not so easy to do."

"Then tell me, now that Qin Hui has collapsed, and I can't take his place, what should I do?"

"Naturally send people to recruit hundreds of officials, and use it for His Highness's use. If Qin Hui is investigated, there must be many officials involved. It is the time for His Highness to wantonly install his own people."

"This king has no right now, how can I install my own people?"

"I'm a low-level official, but I'm willing to do my best for His Highness." Wang Boyan said immediately.

Wang Boyan is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he has great power in his hands. If he really wants to help Zhao Gou recruit people, naturally there is no problem at all.

Zhao Gou pondered for a moment and said, "Let's stop here today. The king is tired and needs to rest."

"Farewell sir."

Just as Wang Boyan was about to leave, Zhao Gou suddenly asked, "Who wants to overthrow Qin Hui?"

"It's Cai Mao."

Zhao Gou's heart was shocked. He was Cai Mao in name, but he was actually the king of Liao.

"How did you know?"

"Because the lower officials have been in contact with Cai Mao, before Li Gang went to Liao King, the lower officials visited Li Gang and told him about Lu Qingliu, so Li Gang went to Liaodong and immediately started investigating Lu Qingliu."

"Could it be that in this person's hands..."

Lu Qingliu and Zhao Gou naturally knew each other, and had met several times before. Speaking of which, he had done many things with Zhao Gou.

"This person has been doing business in the north for many years, and he should have a lot of connections with Qin Hui."

"So you told Li Gang on purpose?"

"Yes, that's what Cai Mao told me too."

Cai Mao, the old fox!

Zhao Gou couldn't help scolding in his heart.

Zhao Gou did not continue to ask this topic, but changed a question: "What kind of person do you think King Liao has become in these years?"

Wang Boyan said seriously: "King Liao has grown into a general with military and political strategies."

"Then do you know what the consequences will be if you help Cai Mao so much?"

Wang Boyan said: "Your Highness is worried that the King of Liao will regain the crown prince?"

Zhao Gou didn't speak.

"King Liao will not be able to regain the crown prince." Wang Boyan said with certainty, "Furthermore, Cai Mao cannot be alone in this matter, and it will also be affected. The power of King Liao in the court may not be stable."

"Okay, my king is going to rest."

Zhao Gou didn't continue talking.

"Farewell sir."

Wang Boyan could say these words to himself, Zhao Gou still felt at ease in his heart, he knew that Wang Boyan was really helping him.

It's just that people like Jianyuan and Yushitai are watching too closely.

Zhao Gou had to let himself become an idle person with no ambitions.

In fact, Zhao Gou has a hundred in his heart, and 1 are not reconciled.

He believes that he has made a lot of contributions to the New Deal, and his policy on non-government lending is not useless. The current commercial development in Northwest China is due to his policies.

Why did I pay so much, did so many things, made so many contributions, but got nothing!

At that moment, Zhao Gou's peaceful eyes became sharp and cold, like a wolf in the prairie.

This opportunity must be seized!

A few days later, Zheng Xi arrived in Huizhou.

On this day, Li Hui, who was the head bookmaker at Huizhou Bank, met Zheng Xi.

His face was full of calm, without any panic, and he even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Li Hui, we have reduced the exemption again."

"Your Excellency is so familiar."

"The last time the official interrogated you, I was present."

"I remembered."

"Let's go, pack up your things now, and come back to the capital with us."

Li Hui didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't even return home, he just brought some money with him.

As for the chief officer of the bank, Zheng Xi had already greeted him in advance.

After riding on the horse, Li Hui couldn't help asking: "Does the official family know?"

"I know."

"What's the official attitude?"

"This is not what you should ask, you just need to cooperate with us to return to the capital."

"If the officials are unwilling to touch Qin Hui, I will die a miserable death."

"Do you think the officials will touch Qin Hui?"

"It's hard to say." Li Hui spread his hands.

Chapter 1246 Folk Casting Cannons (Second Change)

"If the officials don't move Qin Hui, they will send me all the way to find you?" Zheng Xi said.

"The Qin juniper tree has big roots and deep roots. If I don't uproot it, I will still die."

Zheng Xi looked at the knife in his hand, and said: "Since you decided to fornicate and earn money that shouldn't be earned, your head has been hanging on the waistband of your trousers. It's not too late to talk about this now." Is it? Who do you think allowed you to be the master book at the Huizhou Bank?"

"It's an official."

"It's good that you know, Cai Mao tried to get you to be a small bookkeeper in the bank, you are still alive, it was not Cai Mao who kept you alive, it was the officials who kept you alive, and the officials let you die, Cai Mao dared to stand up Protect you?" Zheng Xi said lightly, "How many bowls of rice do you eat every day in Huizhou? The officials are very clear about it. Now you say that your life and death are unpredictable, but your previous life and death can be predicted?"

Li Hui was like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, he said helplessly: "I hope I cooperate with you, and you can save my life."

Li Huiren was taken away, and at the same time, a secret letter was quickly sent from Huizhou to the capital.

On the first day of May, Tokyo was already very hot, but Zhao Ning was in high spirits.
